@ascentale @rasterweb @bikenite Interesting question! I typically say "ride" but realize that I have used "drive" sometimes without even thinking. #bikenite

@ascentale @bikenite Late check-in Sunday PM here in south central Minnesota. New to me was borrowing bikes as my main one is in the shop. I rode my old Bianchi out a new section of the Mill Towns State Trail to old bridge. #bikenite #MNastodon #milltownstrail

@EndCashBail @bikenite A2. I have an Insta360 camera. I haven't been using it as much any more since I don't lead the #BikeBus anymore. But I would use it with a selfie stick if moving slow enough, or I had a handlebar clamp if moving faster. The video from the selfie stick was nice in a way because it was easier to capture a scene of a lot of riders from a higher vantage point.

But it was less stable of course and so the handlebar mount was nice for more stable footage.

They generated a huge amount of video file that I haven't figured out what to do with yet. Often post-processing would be the slowest part of the process.

I have an Insta360 Go 3S (despite the brand, it's not a 360° model).
I have handlebar mounts, which are great, but don't see over hedges.
There's a magnetic clip which I'm currently testing on top of my helmet before committing the camera to.
I generally use it to grab short clips of nice views or group shots (I've been photographing stuff for long enough to know that I don't edit X hours down to a short clip)

@bikenite A1. In Oakland, CA. I saw some "old" school friends - mainly parents whose children have also moved up to the next school at a Back to School Night. And saw someone riding a Tern with a cover for their kid who I didn't recognize. On the way back home, I saw that Tern parked in front of a house that must have recently sold as there were lots of boxes inside. But the most-new thing is that we have a new kitten.

@ascentale @EndCashBail @bikenite #bikenite A2:When my phone is in its handlebar mount, I can shoot not very good vertical videos with it, and have done so occasionally, but to actually turn them into something worth watching would require video editing which I have no enthusiasm for, despite watching a billion hours of youtube trail videos.

@ascentale @bikenite #bikenite A1: Posting from Melbourne, Australia where the wattle is starting to bloom indicating that the shittier part of winter is just about done.

@ascentale @bikenite #bikenite A4: There's a loop of black and yellow cord given to me very earnestly by my youngest when she was small, as a lucky bracelet, but it's way to small for my wrist and so started off on the bar end and has migrated inboard on the handlebar.
There's also a Greek/Turkish "Evil Eye" sticker on the head tube, keeping an eye on the road ahead :-)

(PS: And a sticker which says "SHUT UP LEGS" on the stem, which provides at least 1W of extra encouragement up hills)

@ascentale @bikenite A8. I started riding with a 360 action cam last month and sometimes it's just fun to pull a still image from it.

Here I am arriving at work. I go in the back by the loading docks to park my bike inside while I am at work.

@mmb @ascentale @rasterweb @bikenite pedal is probably an excellent way to clarify you aren't talking about a motor bike. I might try to adopt this.

@ascentale @bikenite at a giant #MtG event in Brisbane, judging all weekend.

Had to get my weekly (minimum) bike ride in way back on Monday as I really was not going to get an opportunity this weekend. Riding while travelling for work/events is hard.

Meine Definition von "Mobile Home". Hab jetzt nen Rollsack und Bivak upgraded damit das Zelt auch mal zuhause bleiben kann. Demnächst mal testen. Vllt schon zur #bikenite #Frankfurt.

@kim @markc568 @ascentale @bikenite I know that if only one can steer that becomes a "divorce" problem, but if both can steer, I can just see the arguments that would lead to as well... #BikeNite

@ascentale @bikenite This is along the street the protests in Tirana are on every night (because the Prime Minister's office and Parliament are on this street). It also has one of the better protected lanes in Tirana.

Opposite, you can see one of Tirana city sanitation/maintenance workers riding a tadpole cargo trike. #BikeNite

@markc568 @ascentale @bikenite Haha, that seems like even more of a "divorce cycle" than a regular tandem! #BikeNite

@ascentale @bikenite A7. I haven't really seen much that I can think of. I did own an Xtracycle Long Loader myself, but didn't get the right opportunity to use it before I had to lose most of my possessions last year. 😭

Xtracycle showed that handling a surfboard and I know musicians used it for tour gear.
