  1. @ascentale @rasterweb @bikenite This post inspired me to replace my discs and pads and realign everything, brake response was more than okay before but it's back to completely mental now :-) I'll bleed the calipers later, probably when I change the tyres.

    And I guess that's my answer for #bikenite A3: I love that talking about this stuff with like minded individuals reminds us all to go do the things we've been putting off!

    [also new grips (the old ones got DEET on them and kinda melted, oops) and tightened up the rear wheel bearings a smidge although I'll have to strip and repack them soon. Oh for through-axles and sealed bearings!]

  11. @ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A8 When we biked to church on Easter Sunday, we were glad to have our panniers with one nearly empty (when we biked there, it was simply holding a wide-brimmed sun hat. That gave us plenty of room on return-home trip for a surprise gift at FPC of potted daisies from our friend Ellen Tucker (of sfba.social/@bikemonterey/1149).

    Anyone on Monterey Peninsula on April 12 who’d like to bike there with us for Gospel Bluegrass, see Sunday #BikeTrain; details and to RSVP: bikemonterey.org/pop-up-easter

  12. @ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A8: Given that I already posted quite some pictures of my ride last weekend, here are some non-cycle related pictures of odd or seldom things seen on that cycle tour.

  13. @ascentale #BikeNite A6: For planning I use #BRouter (brouter.de/brouter-web/; there also seems an app, but I don't use it) and #OpenStreetMap with #CyclOSM (cyclosm.org/) rendering. On my mobile phone (running SailfishOS) I currently use the app Mæp to view the map and track where I'm riding. But I plan to buy a dedicated GPS bike computer for that, probably from Garmin.

  14. @ascentale currently in San Francisco, normally in Berkeley, CA.I had a number of good rides with family this week, which inevitably makes me happy, and I worked on some parts for a new bike I ordered and am super excited about (a Larry vs Harry #BullittX). #BikeNite
