Funny, just tried* my new Moto Lita 4 spoke wheel and spacer today. Had to remember the indicator stalk is now a stretch away. Otherwise nice and comfy with more leverage on steering sharp corners.
Also tried the block-of-wood-under-the-seat-front which certainly added to the comfort, but the change in posture might mean I need to bring the pedals back a slot towards me...
* lockdown run to deliver a sample to the vets... the excuses we have to make these days!
It was one of my considerations when choosing the thickness of the spacer. You made me realise I didn’t even think of it today. Perfectly natural.
Don’t worry too much, I’ve already successfully argued that driving can legally be considered exercise. After all, riding a horse or fishing is, so why not driving. As long as you’re not “travelling” somewhere only to not do anything. There is nothing in the regulations about distance from home.
