@pete asks:

I changed a cassette recently to one with a different spread of gears and while working fine it just _feels_ plain wrong.

Q7. How picky or sensitive are you to changes in bike setup, whether that be size/fit or components-related?

@bobjonkman and @uxMark ask:

There are municipal elections in Ontario, and cycling advocacy orgs are doing "Rides with the Candidates".

Q6a. Have you done a "Ride with a Candidate"? Does it do any good? That is, are candidates who go on these rides more likely to vote for cycling initiatives after going on a ride?

Q6b. What was the outcome — that is how did candidate act/behave before and after the ride? And how did winners advocate for and/or vote for cycling initiatives if elected to council?

@geonz asks:

Q5. What are some fun an interesting things people have called out to you?"

(Inspired by "Bright F*in lights!!! I could see you 'way up there!" last night, which housemate says based on her observations are probably my pedal blinkies).

@rasterweb asks:
My bike has hydraulic disc brakes. Last week I took off the front wheel and put it back on a day later and all was normal.

A few days later I did it again but when I put it back on my front brakes seemed extra grippy! It took very little pressure on the brake lever to activate the brakes.

Q4. Why might have happened?

@uxMark asks:

I’ve posted a lot recently about my recently-acquired electric Brompton. The change it’s made to my cycling life has been dramatic, particularly when taking it on a train.

Q2. What big changes have you made to your cycling life? Was it a change in gear? (New bike, new accessory?) Or a change in attitude? (Cycling was for leisure, but now for transportation.) Or a change in context/environment? (Improved cycling infrastructure, or a move to a new place.) Something else?

@tinyspheresof asks:

I have several #Vaude cycling bags, and the one I'm using frequently when cycling to work is falling apart a bit.

On their website that they offer a repair set w/glue.

Q2. Does anyone here have experience repairing bags like this? Any brands of glue that are particularly great?
