I've been wanting to build up a dedicated winter rig to have a bike with spikes and fenders mounted ready to go for a while, but now it turned up almost a bit too pretty ;).
All City Space Horse, with almost exclusively parts I had lying around, I love how this build came together. It's all focused on simple maintenance and robustness:- 3 speeds, courtesy of a 44/ 32/ 24 triple in front with a 16 in the back, all possible due to a Paul Melvin chain tensioner
- old XT tripple MTB crankset
- XTR V-Brakes, the obvious star of the build (these were lying around in my parts box for about ten years now)
- Schwalbe studded winter tires (30s, the cheap ones, let's see how much use they get)
- Deore brake levers, they're quite nice (those I bought new)
- MTB flats, so I can wear warm/ any shoes. I have some quite warm winter MTB shoes, might switch to clipless pedals at some point
- Hope bottom bracket (bought used for this build, have them on almost all my bikes and they never let me down)#BikesOfFediverse #allcity #wintercycling #cycling #bikebuild #bike #bikenite

#BikeNite A1: Posting from #WaterlooRegion, a nice mix of an urban core (the cities of #Kitchener, #Waterloo, and #Cambridge), surrounded by four rural townships, #Woolwich, #Wellesley, #Wilmot, and #NorthDumfries.
Some of the best cycle paths (the #TransCanadaTrail f'rinstance) pass right by, or through, farmland.

A5: I think they are a net positive even though a bit pricey (without a subscription #LimeBikes in London are a rip off) but cheaper than other private transport and with lower negative externalitiesI have some reserves by how powerful the e assist is. Some folks are way out of their comfort/competence zone with them. They don't have to build stamina/experience before finding themselves at full speed.

A8: Still waiting on my derailleurs and spokes, but most of my parts arrived over the past week. I'm hoping I'll a very sweet ride by the New Year!

@ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A8: Given we in Europe just switched the clocks from summertime to wintertime, here are some pics embracing the joy of having proper lighting on your cycle for #BeingSeen + wearing #HiViz clothes in the spirit of #VisionZero.
One is even #Halloween themed, although this was unintentional. 😇
(And no, this isn't #VictimBlaming 🙄, it's just common sense. Riding in black clothes w/o light in the night doesn't help anyone.)

@ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A1: Posting from Zurich, Switzerland. Last weekend, I took part in a 47km (29mi) #OrigamiRide (organised folding bicycle tour) from Chur to Walenstadt, run by our local #Brompton scene. I extended the tour for myself and rode back home to Zurich, 131km (81mi) overall. More pics at https://chaos.social/@xtaran/115162221358926374 (Text is German)
I also noticed a slow puncture in the rear G-One tire before the ride—my first flat tire in 15yrs. Rode anyways. Cause was a tiny metal splinter.

#BikeNite A1: I'm posting from my favourite spot along the Health Valley Trail (part of the Trans Canada Trail) in St. Jacobs, Ontario, Canada.
Nothing new that's bike related, but I'm going through various computers that I manage, and am upgrading them to Debian 13 "Trixie". I haven't broken anything too badly (yet).

#BikeNite A1: Just got back home from the #KitchenerBluesFest. Not by bike, sadly. But I saw that #BikeKitchener had the Bike Parking Valet service running (free!), and the bike corral was quite full.
There are some Saskatoon Berries on the #IronHorseTrail, and loads of Mulberries. And Raspberries on the #TransCanadaTrail. There are also some that look like Strawberries, but apparently they're some kind of mimic; they're absolutely tasteless.

@ascentale @xtaran @bikenite A3. Not these ones, but there was some other vehicle I saw a video of from #Spezi2025 where the pedaling was only telling the motor how much juice to generate. While I don't want to pooh-pooh possible accessibility if that design really does great things for people with an access need, #BikeNite

Has anyone ever done any cycling around Rivière du Loup?
Our planned trip to Ontario will probably involve a stop there. If there's a good day cycle in that area we might stay an extra night.
And any suggestions for bike friendly hotels there would also be welcome. Or #airbnb ?

@ascentale #BikeNite A1. Hello again from Provincetown! Summer is underway and tons of people are out and about on bikes. But we are getting some #BikeLash from our elected Select Board with a proposal to ban bikes along Commercial St in the center of town :( So we started a campaign to let folks know what the facts are, provide ways to let officials know this is a bad idea, and a host of suggestions on better ways to improve street safety: https://bikescape.org/pedal-blog/dont-ban-bikes #BikeTooter
