  1. Discovered that the brakes on the #AcousticBike - old single-action Shimano 600 sidepulls, with the back one barely working - are better than I thought.

    Was barreling happily along the bike trail when I notice a commotion up ahead in the long grass. A redwing blackbird is mobbing some kind of creature scurrying through the grass. Just as I get close, what pops out into the middle of the trail but a 🦨!

    Eek! Max anchors, back up away from this aggrieved floof o' doom!

  2. First time out on the new-to-me #AcousticBike

    It was left out on the street when a neighbour moved away. It needs some work (rear brake is, uh, nominal and frame has some surface rust) but only needed a tiny tune up to get rolling. It has a flip-flop hub, but I'm no fixie #hipsterrr

    It rolls like a dream and wants to go no-hands forever. My old knees aren't wild about the lack of gears. Rim brakes aren't my fave, but they work. Too nice a day to grumble tho

  3. First acoustic MTB ride in a long while. Good to get out of traffic for a spell.

    Recent heavy rains have already undercut the new boulder + concrete attempt to shore up the abutments under Istik Bridge over Lemon Creek.

    Good to get some organic grime on the old legs, too!

  4. @IPEdmonton @EricFielding I wrote about the acoustic/analog usage debate bikestylespokane.com/2022/11/2. There's an angry cycling musician on Twitter who jumps on anyone who uses the term "acoustic" to refer to a bicycle. Life is too short for that! #BikeTooter #AcousticBike #EBikes #BikeToot

    Fantastic it sounds
    What about analogue bike

  6. New post on the perennial debate over what we call a bicycle or tricycle that doesn't have e-assist. Is it an acoustic bike? Analog bike? Regular, original, traditional, legacy, retro? Let's not fight; e- or not, cycling is a joyous activity.
