#BikeNite #BikeTooter #Cycling #MastoBikes
Got told I was just plain weird for having my two main bikes setup with brakes on different hands.
My gravel which I built is UK setup (front brake right hand)
My road bike built up by Italian-based Kazak-owned proteam and American-bought has continental setup (front brake left hand).
I switch things all the time without noticing - everything apart from saddle height which must be correct

@ascentale @bikenite A8. As usual, I missed some amazing shots for not having my regular camera with me or not getting it out in time. However, it was an amazing surprise for me that one of the cargo trikes here in Tirana had a bag on it with the embroidered phrase "Nothing About Us Without Us", which is a motto of the disability rights movement.
Upon closer inspection, the bag was from the European Disability Forum. I assume the bag was just free swag as Albania is not in the EU and there's not a lot of disability activism here, but I felt like it was a sign.

@ascentale @bobjonkman @uxMark @bikenite A6a. I've ridden with a politician, but not a candidate yet. The Mayor of Beverly Hills hosted a ride and though I did not live there (duh), I thought it would be a good opportunity to see the place. They were handing out free t-shirts and the mayor really was there riding. BH did have better than average bike policy for a couple years there, but something changed politically and that was all it took.
The details of the good and bad can be viewed on BikingInLA, which is a very good archive of cycle policy in LA and all over.

Another example is that when Antonio Villaraigosa was LA's Mayor, he did a ride and a driver made him fall over and break his wrist. He also became a cycle-friendly mayor for a good while and LA was making progress.
However, as what has happened in democracies generally shows, YOU HAVE TO STAY ACTIVE because the rw will.

@ascentale @grammasaurus @bikenite #BikeNite A1a: posting from Alameda, CA as usual
A1b: on my folding bike I have a rechargeable 400 lumen headlight, and a steady taillight. On my “big bike” I have a magicshine projector style headlight with a sharp cutoff, and blinky taillight, and redshift pedals with red/white lights on them that are super cool
I also have a little led light on the back of my helmet

@ascentale @geonz @bikenite #BikeNite A5. One time riding down a busy street in rush hour traffic a pedestrian yelled to me “You’re a lot braver than I am!” as I rode past a line of stopped cars

@ascentale @rand @bikenite A3 I love learning from people who have more knowledge and experience than I do, and just the fun community feel around talking bike stuff with bike people.

#BikeNite A6: I've cycled with candidates, and I've been a candidate who cycled: https://bobjonkman.ca/2019/10/16/biking-with-bob-jonkman-saturday-19-october-2019/
But the cycling candidates weren't elected, so I don't know if taking candidates cycling influences their voting behaviour.
Some of my favourite politicians are cyclists: #Waterloo Mayor Dorothy McCabe, and Councillor Diane Freeman, also in #Waterloo.
Sadly, this election I'm not able to participate in the "Ride With Candidates" events. Next time!

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] A7: I don't know how picky this is, but I switched from an 11-speed cassette to the current 12-speed one. The old cassette had 23/25/27/30/34T towards the big end. The new one has 24/28/32/36T. Yes, 36T is nice, but the wider, uneven gaps and one fewer cog drove me crazy for a few weeks. I'm more or less used to it now, but it sure took me a while.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] A6a: The local advocacy group I belonged to organized a ride event to showcase the lack of safe infrastructure in a neighbourhood. We invited the councilmember who represented that area. A6b: She ended up not riding with us. She had expressed interest but held off her commitment until the last minute, when she told us she wouldn't be able to make it. Looking back, it should've been expected. She turned out to be anti-bike!

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] A5: I wish I had a funny story or two to share. The only things people have said to me while I ride are (1) "Hey do you want to race?" (by a motorcyclist next to me), and (2) "That must be a Roubaix!" (by someone standing on the sidewalk as I stopped nearby)...

@ascentale @geonz @bikenite A5 #BikeNite "Pop a wheelie!" from a kid on an electric scooter.
Funny because there is no way my (mostly) legal long tail ebike is going to get me up on a wheelie. -
