#mastobikes — Public Fediverse posts

@[email protected] @[email protected] A8: My daughter is into the current Happy Meals toys, so I end up stopping by this McD's pretty often. Since they don't have cycle racks, I just bring my bike in... #BikeNite #MastoBikes #BikeTooter #McDonalds

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] A1a: From Seattle, WA.

A1b: I usually use the Camelbak Podium Chill. It's not completely insulating but keeps the drink relatively cold in the Seattle summer. I like it also because you don't need to squeeze it to drink from it. You just have to suck it. I do have the Camelbak insulated steel bottle, too, but it doesn't fit snugly into my bottle cage.

Thanks all for the #BikeNite questions tonight. And thanks for answering, reading & discussing.

There are 2 questions in the queue, to be saved for next week. So there's room for ~5 more. Send any questions over with the BikeNitePQ hashtag so I can find them.

Reply, boost and favorite to keep it going. Thanks for being a part of this community. And you can follow #BikeNite, if you haven't yet. Use the hashtag to help boost awareness!

And our traditional last question: your week in a photo.

Q8. What did you see this week? Reply with a photo if you'd like. Cycling related or not is fine. Tell us about it!

@MartyCormack asks about electronic shifting:

My road bike at home has an issue with shifting, I don't know if the cable is bad (most likely), the shifter is broken or if it's something else.
The road bike I'm provided this week on tour has electronic shifting, which is intriguing since I go through shifter cables once or twice a year.

Q7: What are the pros and cons of electronic shifting versus cable shifting?

@Karstan asks:

Q6. Are there any current or former professional bike mechanics on the Fediverse that would be interested/willing to share insights about the profession? What was your professional journey like? Any warnings/advice for someone considering a career change into the profession? Would getting a certification from an organization like the United Bicycle Institute be worthwhile?

@gcvsa asks:

I need recommendations for a bicycle home maintenance stand that is capable of holding an ebike.

Let's say max weight of 40 Kg? My Rad Power Bikes RadMission is about 50 lbs (~23 Kg) free of accessories. I don't plan on ever buying anything heavier than that.

Free-standing would probably be best, but I would consider ones designed for permanent installation, either mounted to garage framing or the concrete slab. Trying to spend less rather than more.

Q5. Do you have a maintenance stand to recommend?

@FourT4 asks:

Q4. Have you ever knitted an item of bicycle hardware?

(If not, any items on your cycle related to the fiber arts?)

#BikeNiteQ #BikeNite #BikeTooter #Cycling #MastoBikes cc @bikenite

@streetmeme asks:

Q3. What has been your experience with fully housed vs. exposed/partially housed cables?

Wouldn't the exposed portion be a pathway for water/dirt to enter the cable housing?

#BikeNiteQ #BikeNite #BikeTooter #Cycling #MastoBikes cc @bikenite

@geonz asks:

Q2. Is anybody else having "follow through" trouble? What's your dangling project?

YES I now have Baby Bianchi ready to ride but she needs a small person to ride her.
NO I haven't figured out howto take the cables or the rear wheel off the Gazelle to make a properlawn ornament... and SCHOOL HAS STARTED but ... I could have done stuff tonight...

Peut être que les adeptes du #velo auront un avis ou sauront me dire si c’est légal ou toléré:
Une personne de mon entourage qui va bientôt être papa a modifié un #velocargo pour pouvoir y fixer la nacelle de la poussette.
Le but est d’en faire un véhicule pour se déplacer avec le bébé au quotidien, principalement en ville. Potentiellement je peux avoir une photo de l’engin.

Pas de doute sur la solidité, mais ça ne suffit pas à en faire un engin sûr.
T’en penses quoi ?

Guten Morgen #bikebubble #fahrradbubble 👋😌 ☕

Ich durchstöbere gerade so meine Fotos und stolpere über tolle #sticker, die ich mir damals für mein #BabboeLastenrad besorgt habe.
Ein kleines #startup aus #berlin bietet nicht nur Sticker an, die hübsch aussehen sondern auch noch reflektieren 🤩

Statt irgendwas bei #amazon zu bestellen schaut doch mal bei deren Shop vorbei:

Was für ein wunderbarer "Talk&Ride" das war am Mittwochabend! Es ging mit der #Windkante im fröhlichen Rudel an den #Baldeneysee – mit viel lustigem Schnack unterwegs und leckeren Pommes am Kiosk.
Ein Eintrag im #Ruhrpott-Tourenbuch folgt in Kürze! :)

Vraagje:
Hebben jullie ervaring met (of kennen jullie goede websites over) fietsen met een lage hartslag?

Boosten wordt gewaardeerd :)

🚲 Le temps se gâte à nouveau, je me replie sur le centre d’Angers. J’ai du temps avant mon train retour. Après une petite balade, j’en profite pour découvrir une spécialité locale : « La Gouline », une sorte de tourte feuilletée aux rillauds, champignons, échalotes et tomme Angevine. Avec une salade verte pour le côté diététique👌😇 #VoyageAVelo #randovelo #cyclo #cyclotourisme #mastobike #mastobikes #cyclisme #bikepacking #voyage #velovoyage #bikeTrips

YouTube videos make bleeding #hydraulic #brakes look simple. Everything is now covered in mineral oil! Glad it cleans up easily. #BikeTooter #mastobikes #cargobike #discbrakes #bicycle

Mini-#Fahrradtour mit Mini-Beifahrer - Die feuchte Witterung hat uns nicht davon abgebracht mit dem #Kindersitz-Esel Spielplätze anzusteuern. Gute Entscheidung, feuchte Rutschen in Kombination mit Regenkleidung bedeutet eine Menge Spaß, für die Kids.

Bei der Rückfahrt wurde die Essens-Frage mit "Sushi" beantwortet. Hach schön, wenn noch nicht all zu viele Silben im Wortschatz sind. "Peking-Ente" wäre herausfordernd gewesen ;oD

hehe wow ok this is likely crap, but it *is* funny and *could* be „cool” for your hot #summer #bike travel: A #handlebar-mounted #spray nozzle with #water tank in your bottle holder 😂

(the manual pump also serves as an emergency tire pump.)
