This Larsson Ladies Bicycle is specially designed and extensively tested for enjoyable biking on SL mainland roads and even for off-road biking in surprisingly rough terrain. The scripts in this bike have been written by Lisle Larsson who developed and extensively tested them for effective motion and control and region crossings and are only available in Larsson bicycles. Version 5.2 is dated September 11, 2023.

I paid close attention to the construction details to provide you with an attractive and authentic looking bicycle. This is a product made for those seeking an authentic looking and performing bicycle to enjoy using on mainland roads, and is not meant to be a modifiable construction item. There is no need to modify it, so I sell it as copy only. However, you can easily rescale it to match up with your avatar scale by using my touch to resize script. Just touch the logo below the handle bars for the on-screen rescale menu.

The bicycle has a land weight of 16 and the mesh physics has also been adjusted to minimize land impact.

This bike has 12 gear speeds that range from 5 to 38 on the SL speed scale. This accords well with normal bicycle speeds. The gears are set in short steps from an enjoyable lowest gear to a substantially faster highest gear, but not so fast as to be annoyingly unrealistic for a bicycle. You will notice that you slow down going up hills and may need to increase gear speed on the super steep hills. And, of course, you will gain speed going down hills. You can gear up and gear down while in motion using the on-screen jump up and down buttons or the page up and down keys on your keyboard. You will see a message in chat telling you when you select a speed change.

As you begin moving forward you will see yourself move into a bike steering and peddling animation, and then as you return to a stop you will move to an animated stance straddling the bike ready to resume biking.

Sometimes, it is useful to "walk back" a bike to get out of a narrow spot, and so there is one walk-back or reverse gear (set at SL speed 5) for your SL biking convenience.

Indeed, I made the animations especially for this bike, and you will notice a very naturalistic body and shoulder action side to side as you pedal and also look side to side watching the road ahead. If needed you can adjust your position relative to handle bars and seat and pedals using the standard AVsitter menu.

The steering has been adjusted so as to avoid quirky over sensitivity. This allows for a more normal biking feel, yet the turning radius is sharp enough so you can get out of small spaces and avoid obstacles more easily.

There is a headlight that uses the SL spotlight capability to illuminate the road ahead. Be sure you have activated advance lighting in your viewer graphics preferences to use it. There are on and off buttons just under the light on the handle bars.

There is a ringer bell. Touch the tail light to "ring ring" the bell. This is especially helpful when you see people standing in the middle of the road ahead, or if you want to greet people near the roadside.

If desired I would also be happy to change the color for you as I am a full service bike dealer.

Thanks and best wishes,

Lisle
