  1. Heute ein Treffen in #behringersmühle auf Kaffee und Kuchen. Wir waren 8 #velomobil e, 2 #recumbenttrike und 1 #liegerad.
    Die B470 war im Rahmen des Marathons in der #fraenkischeschweiz gesperrt für Krafverkehr, so konnten wir mal die komplette Fahrbahn nutzen. Mit dabei waren unter anderem @radlpit und @s_masto .

    Thank you to the two folks who bought my music during Bandcamp Friday and helped me towards paying down some disability-related costs!

    Thanks to the other swell person who contributed directly via paypal.me/plantedu !

  3. A couple of days passed before I remembered exactly where I'd carefully stored the old freewheel that I wanted to install on my new wheel.

    The old freewheel is a Suntour which I rode around with briefly over 20 years ago before I replaced it with something else for some reason that I can no longer remember. I didn't throw this nice part away - it emigrated with us.

    The name now belongs to a Taiwanese company, but the original Suntour was Japanese. They were very innovative and made high quality parts for reasonable prices. My freewheel is from the early 1990s. It's a quality part with replaceable sprockets (I remember bike shops having a choice of sprockets back in the day) and it has a quiet clutch mechanism. Nice. No tick tick tick when free-wheeling.

    Suntour had their own indexed gearing system and in principle this isn't supposed to be compatible with Shimano's SIS, but with a bit of careful adjustment it's working more or correctly.

    Of course I'm still going to take apart the freehub from the other wheel and see if I can fix that as well. It's nice to have a spare.

  5. Today's bike ride was the initial outing of the restored Kuifje's Raket (Tintin's Rocket) Quest.

    Harry (@twilwel) has been working on this for some time and he's done a great job. It looked quite rough a few months back, but now it looks and works like a completely new velomobile.

  6. @recumbinati Welcome, new follower! I gladly welcome you with a #rule17 #regel17 conform post of my beloved 35 year old #recumbent #bike, which I got 30 years ago. And used it with the #trailer when my kids were born 20 years ago. That’s when the photo was taken. #radius #peergynt #fahrrad #liegerad
