    “Not only does it warn you that a vehicle is there, but it also provides insight into whether it’s moving in a slow, controlled manner or represents a high-speed threat … visual cues are reinforced by audio tones that warn of impending threats and sound the all-clear when they’re gone”
    “more to radar than flagging individual threats”

  2. Q for the #cycling #BikeTooter folks: What’s the best kind of paint for a bike?

    Background: I have a 30 year old Raleigh Portage that has developed a few spots of rust that I’d like to take care of before they get serious. I figure this as good an opportunity as any to spruce the bike up (thinking orange and purple stripes). Bike shop will strip it down to the frame for me, so I’d just have to paint the bike and luggage racks.

    Any advice from people who have painted their bikes?

  3. Hey #London folks! We're making a family trip to your city this summer, and I'm wondering: are any of the bikeshare services available for (older) children, or a person without a smartphone?

    My 11yo kid can probably ride an adult bike with the seat fully down, but he doesn't have a smartphone (nor do we want him to have one). Do any accept a tap-and-pay debit card?

  4. Evening #biketooter have you heard about Upride? upride.cc/

    A global site for uploading videos of all the close passes we #cyclists #bikecommuters experience.

    Might be useful to send to local governments when they get the inkling to paint a "bike lane" on a arterial road or remove a protected lane so less people can commute and more cars can idle.

    If you are a cyclist who has to deal with drivers, get some cameras.

  9. Two glorious 40+ mile days in a row on the #bike, and I think I’m tacking on some more mileage this evening (probably just a chill dinner ride) while Valerie takes both kids to swim practice.

  10. KEEPING UP WITH MOVEMENT

    One must keep moving or expect muscular or joint pain, especially as one ages. Consistent movement activates and strengthens the muscles, gets the blood flowing, moves the joints, creating a natural lubricant called synovial fluid and reduces stiffness and long-term degeneration. It is clear that activity and movement need to be integrated into life, but not easy to actually […]

  11. Secure #bike storage is a growing obstacle to #cycling as a popular mode of commuting

  16. The artistic participative Shelter Construction Site of the "Gestaltung" masters project "Common Shelter" started successfully!
    -> Next building days are the 16th and 17th may 2026!

    You may join us on a bike, too: "From the art hall to the art construction site" -> Meeting point is friday 15th may 2026 16:00 at the "Thinker" in front of the "Kunsthalle Bielefeld". One way is about 25 km. If you like to build with us, please send a mail to shelter[@]apgw.de or say hello here in the fediverse for details.

    If you just like to ride the bike with us, then no announcement neccessary. If you ride with us AND have cargobike or big biketrailer capacity (aleXargo etc), please contact us: A bike company from Bielefeld told me today that we can re-use good, long wooden trash-planks from them!

    Look back:
    From 2nd to 4th of may 2026 we made a good start, thanks to the well trained and powerfull co-artists. More in the construction diary on the website: shelter.apgw.de/#2026_05_02
