Vertebrae!

Found on my way home from lunch in Chinatown/ID...

#BikeTooter #SEABikes #MastoBikes

E, per la prima volta in vita mia, sono andato per #Padova in bici. Ho fatto il giro delle mura rinascimentali, molto bello e scenografico, quasi tutto su canali, all'ombra. Parchi, monumenti, tante bici e poche auto.

Consiglio ruote larghe, viste le pavimentazioni sconnesse, in ogni caso la bici è ottima per girare queata città, come è evidente dal loro numero enorme in giro 😉

And our last question this week as usual: 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!

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

@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?

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

@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).

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

@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?

@rand asks:

Q3. What do you love about #BikeNite?

#BikeNiteQ #BikeTooter #Cycling #MastoBikes cc @bikenite

@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?

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

@ascentale @rasterweb @bikenite

What about those pedal powered rickshaw things?

Edit: I assume there are e-bike versions of those by now.

And our last question this week as usual: your week in a photo.

Q8. What did you see this week? It's the end of August, are your seasons changing? Reply with a photo if you'd like. Cycling related or not is fine. Tell us about it!

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

A #CarryShitOlympics question:

Q7. Are there any carts/trailers that are non-traditional for bikes but more common in other settings, that you've seen used for carrying long, bulky items? For example, a kayak/canoe cart: https://suspenz.com/collections/all-carts

Do these have the potential to be used for other similarly-shaped objects?

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

Q6. I saw this video recently, and wondered if others have used an ebike to generate electricity? Are there any easy ways to try this out?

Is this practical, or silly? Both?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGe9soy27CQ

Of course it wouldn't generate a lot of electricity, but if one were trying to exercise anyway, might as well put those watts to use!

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

@rasterweb asks:

Q5. Do you say "ride a bike" or "drive a bike"?

I've seen people use "drive a bike" which seems weird to me. Maybe I just think riding is mostly meant for things you are "on" where "driving" is mostly for things you are "inside of"... or riding involves balance maybe?

It's not 100% of course, but "driving my bike" just sounds weird to me.

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

Q4. Do you have some sort of lucky charm on your bike? Can you tell us about it, and show us what it looks like?

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

Cate Blanchett notably cycled away from a performance in London recently https://momentummag.com/cate-blanchett-goes-viral-after-cycling-away-from-london-theatre-on-a-brompton/

Q3. Do you know of other celebrities who have been known to cycle? Any other instances recently?

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

A while back, @EndCashBail asked:

Tell us about your bike/body/helmet mounted video recording setup and workflow.

Q2. What mounts, power sources, and cameras work for you, do you record every trip on every bike, and what do you do with all the video files this creates?

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

A2. I guess it really depends how cold your winters are. I don't worry about it with mine (in the UK). When in use, it'll generate enough heat that it's not a problem. When it's not in use, I don't think a neoprene cover would keep it warm for long enough to make a difference. I can't remove the main battery, but my garage doesn't get cold enough that I'm worried about it.

@genex asks:

I have presta valves on my bikes and sometimes after I inflate the tires they go a bit flat relatively quickly (a few days-ish). I suspected a leak but just pumped them up again to see what happens and often they are fine.

Q7. Is this just some quirk of the presta valves? Maybe that tiny thing you can twist down to 'lock' the valve? not sure if this is just user error or something else? It's not consistent so weird...

Question via @sam

Q6. If you have many (4+) bicycles that you normally store in a garage, what are good ways to store them in a space-efficient way? While still having usable workshop/other space in the garage?

I really want to reorganize my garage into a better workshop but we have a bunch of bicycles and I can’t figure out a good storage system.

@paul_edwin asks:

I've got two bicycles with 1X drivetrains. One of them Just Works™. The other has a habit of throwing the chain off (four times on Wednesday's commute). Always comes off on the crank side, never inboard.

Q5. Where should I start looking to prevent dropping my chain? I recently found out that the tension of the derailleur clutch can be adjusted; is that a good starting point?

Alternatively: chain guides that will mount on a T47 bottom bracket? (Frame mount not an option.)

@SRLevine asks:

Q4. Anyone ever try "split" fenders (either homemade or something like sks raceblade longs) with really tight clearance brakes? Do they work? Do you have weird water spray from the gap?

Product link for photo reference of where the "split" is: https://www.summitbicycles.com/product/sks-raceblade-long-336063-1.htm

@MartyCormack asks:

I recently had a couple pre-glued patches on inner tubes fail. Fortunately they failed in my garage, not on the road.
I've since been told by multiple people that pre-glued patches are intended as temporary "get you back home" fixes, not permanent fixes.

Q3. When you get a flat, do you just replace the inner tube with a new one, or do you patch it? If you patch it, what kind of patches do you use and are they reliably permanent?

@rasterweb asks:

This will be my first year commuting to work in the winter on an ebike. I know you can get neoprene covers to wrap around the bike where the battery is, with the idea to keep it warmer for better performance.

Q2. Does anyone use those battery covers? Do they actually work?

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:

@Perowinger94 hat sich mit #Fahrrad und Kamera auf den Weg durch #Europa gemacht – von #Freiburg über #Paris, #Gent, #Amsterdam, #Utrecht und #Hamburg bis nach #Kopenhagen. Herausgekommen ist eine inspirierende Dokumentation über Städte, die zeigen, wie #Verkehrswende gelingen kann – und wie viel Lebensqualität entsteht, wenn Menschen, nicht Autos, im Mittelpunkt stehen.

Heute mal wieder eine Runde mit meinem alten Schlachtross gedreht.
Unterwegs in einer Hütte ein junges Pärchen "erwischt", knick knack, zumindest mündlich 😉
Hab mich für sie gefreut, waren wir nicht alle mal jung...?
