   #BikeDiary My one really big fail with the bike: the seat has a handle underneath that looks for all the world like it’s for lifting the bike.

   ⚠️ Do not lift a Tern by the seat handle!! ⚠️

   Despite all appearances, it’s not for lifting. It's for a rear passenger to steady themselves. If you lift the bike by the seat handle, the seat top will pop out of the rails — as I found out!

   It's the the one really big design fail I've found on this otherwise excellent bike.
