:boost: I know folks prefer a crowdfunding platform where they can see a thermometer...I haven't found one with a ToS I like yet so I just did a total raised since August 29.

Combined folks donating directly via PayPal or indirectly via Bandcamp, the total raised is $246.38.

Thank you so much! That has almost paid for 5 PT appointments. I'm going to continue crowdfunding for a while because I need more PT, the mobility aid debt is 1000s, and I have PhD application fees coming up.

Thank you!! 🎉

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 .

:boost: I need to ask for aid again.

I'm grateful to all who've helped me get this far with paying down the trike debt! 😚 My birthday is coming up soonish and having less debt would be GREAT.

I'm disabled, with no partner, no children, and little in-person community. I know everyone has a lot of needs right now and everyone's hurting. However, if you're able to spare something to help out,

- I have yet to pay off my mobility aid (which I desperately needed, doctor's orders).

- A fall last Dec worsened one of my disabilities and I'm doing PT again so I can get out of pain enough to sleep through the night. It's all out of pocket.

-And my survival plan is getting into a PhD program and there are unfortunately costs involved with that.

The day after my last appointment at Ecoist, I make the crossing to Denmark. It starts to rain there and continues all day. I’d planned to cycle home at a relaxed pace, but after a day of rain, the idea of pedalling home in a few long stretches is starting to seem attractive. If I push myself a bit, I could be back home in seven days, and I rather like the idea.

Last year we've put our garden shed on slow travel platform Welcome to my Garden. Since then lots of back- and bikepackers dropped by for a night in our garden. Nice people with interesting stories.
In Sweden I used the platform for the first time myself and had a more than pleasant stay in Tommy and his family’s garden. https://cyclingfortheplanet.net/index.php/2026/07/03/welcome-to-my-garden/

First ride after tube replacement went well. I checked all the tire pressures. I knew some would need it because I checked the good front tire yesterday and it was down. And then my mini-compressor needed charging again before I could get to the desired pressure. But the one installed yesterday and pumped by hand by the mech was a bit low as well, and the rear one needed more.

Hard as rocks ride (I wish I could have afforded full suspension), but no flats!

@JillsJoy Thanks. If you can see my reply to my toot, I made an update from Schwalbe, who made that very suggestion!

So if I can source it where I am, I'll be getting that put in. #BikeNite #BikeTooter #Cycling #CargoBike #Recumbent

@ascentale From the answer, it sounded to me like speed/acceleration is a factor. That is, motorization makes it so the rim can go faster than the tube is going unless you create more friction that grabs the tube. #BikeNite #BikeTooter #Cycling #CargoBike #Recumbent

@rasterweb It's weird that the 'bent manufacturer went immediately to implying I was running tires low when I've ridden MANY different types of cycle, including e-cycles, and never had a problem like this once, much less twice in a couple weeks.

I really feel like there's a tendency from the person who answers me there to discount my experience and look for fault because I'm a woman (possibly also because I'm fat...they've met me).

But the fact that people have so many different answers, experiences, and approaches tells me I'm not far out of the average on this one. Even Schwalbe didn't blame it on pressure, but on e-cycles in general (speed...since they also refer to it being a motorcycle problem). #BikeNite #BikeTooter #Recumbent

OK, here's an update from Schwalbe US (where I had previously made a contact so I had an email).

They offered to make good on it even though they are saying this is something common on many tubes with e-cycles.

#Cycling #CargoBike #BikeTooter #Recumbent

Got a question, but I suspect tonight's #BikeNite queue is full and I need an answer quicker than next week:

If you ride your cycle ~ every other day, how often should you be checking your tire pressure?

I was in Stockholm, home of the Stockholm Resilience Centre, one of the world’s most important scientific institutes. As the holidays in Sweden starts after the summer solstice, I wasn’t able to make an appointment. But I cycled over to the university in the hope of getting a photo. Of course, I’d put on the climatestripes shirt that had been donated for my journey by Cycling 4 Climate. https://cyclingfortheplanet.net/index.php/2026/06/27/resillience/

Eine Runde an den #main bei #schwarzach mit dem Milan, immer parallel zur A3, über #schlüsselfeld , #geiselwind , #wiesentheid . In Unterfranken war ich dieses Jahr noch gar nicht.
Es war brutal heiß.
Mein Café in Schwarzach hat seit diesem Jahr leider geschlossen, die fränkische Hausmannskost nebenan wir mir definitiv zu viel. Also zur Tanke, dort alles besorgt und an den Main gesetzt.
Dort alles braun und trocken. Der Main hat Wasser.

Kardokai ecovillage in Lithuania. I’d marked the village on the map but hadn’t got in touch beforehand. When I call the ecovillage’s number Raimundas picks up the phone. I explaine what I am up to, that I am in the neighborhood and that I’d love to come and say hello.

To my surprise, Raimundas is happy to make time to show me round the ecovillage. When I arrive he offers me the guest house for the night and invites me for lunch. https://cyclingfortheplanet.net/index.php/2026/06/21/ecovillage-kardokai/

In Gdansk I was looking for 250 oaks that had been planted in the autumn of 2025. I didn’t find them. What I did find, however, was a bronze statue of Ronald Reagan an Pope Johannes Paules II. That’s not surprising, as the oaks were planted in the Reagan park.

What is it like, cycling for the planet?, I ask myself. Good question I hear myself respond. That's what you get when you're on a solo trip. Because you have no one to talk to but yourself. You can't blame anyone else either when you have to push your bike trough a 16 kilometer long sandpit. You could blame the route app which you instructed to choose asphalt only en takes you to the sandpit anyway. But what's the point? https://cyclingfortheplanet.net/index.php/2026/06/05/wat-is-it-like/

When I read the papers, I can’t help but conclude that the world is run by a bunch of unbelievable idiots, arseholes and criminal scum who take pleasure in killing other people or driving them to hopeless suffering, meanwhile destroying entire ecocystems. Sorry, I just had to get that off my mind. https://cyclingfortheplanet.net/index.php/2026/06/15/humankindness/

Discovered something about Bosch e-assist on a recumbent trike today that shows that not all things designed with upright bikes in mind map over to more accessible recumbents...

When I got the flat, I thought I could make use of walk assist. I have a disability that affects my hands and arms and any time my recumbent breaks and I have to walk it, it is agony to do, esp for any great distance.

Unfortunately, the walk assist mode on the Bosch requires that you keep the button pressed down. Which on a recumbent when I'm walking alongside it means I'd have to lean over...which is the whole problem in the first place.

I'll probably need to write Bosch about this just so they know there's room for improvement.

Heute mit dem Milan durch das #aischtal den Kanal entlang nach #bamberg. Auf der Rückfahrt war erstmal noch alles gut, also über #forchheim nach #erlangen und dann wieder heim. Die letzten 20km waren dann aufgrund der Hitze und dem wirklich warmen Wind eher zäh 😔
Bin von normaler Cappy auf die neue Mütze umgestiegen, kein Sonnenbrand mehr auf den Ohren. Die Platte brennt auch weniger. 😁

Heute eine Runde zu dritt mit @s_masto und @radlpit . Durch das #aischtal den Kanal entlang nach #bamberg und @radlpit aufgegabelt. Zurück wieder gemütlich Kanal und noch eine kurze Pause für ein Eis.
Sehr zügig kam dann starker Wind auf und wir haben eilig zugesehen wieder heim zu kommen.

Schön war´s.

Feierabendrunde durch das #aischtal am Kanal nach #bamberg . Auf halben Hinweg von einem Freund mit ZOX Z Frame aufgegabelt worden, ab ging’s zu zweit weiter. Hinzu gemütlich, auf dem Rückweg dann über die Hauptstraße mit etwas Dampf. Lustig wars.
Eine größere Fläche am Kanal wurde geflutet, jede Menge Vögel in der Abendsonne. Typisch für hier, viele #storche .
Zur Stärkung lecker Butterbrot mit #gurken aus dem Garten.

Registrations are now open for the next British Human Power Club race meet at Colchester Sports Park on the 9th of August. Nice smooth tarmac, good sightlines and sensible* corners make it the opposite of last weekend's twisty silliness at Hereford and Evesham. I'm also hoping that August means it won't be stupidly cold, like it was when we last went there in 2022 and I had to un-jam my chain with frozen fingers.

https://www.bhpc.org.uk/events/2026-races/


* For certain values of sensible: There's a steep embankment on the outside of the hairpin to keep things interesting if you overcook it.

Sorting out the race files for the first British Human Power Club meet of the 2026 season at Hillingdon Cycle Circuit on Saturday. Good to see a decent number of arm-powered entries, and people who haven't raced with us before.

Hopefully it'll stay dry enough that I don't end up riding blind and come off the track at a random tangent like I did last time...

The 2026 British Human Power Club race meet calendar is now complete:

https://www.bhpc.org.uk/events/2026-races/

Note that due to the high entry fee and limited numbers the Derby Velodrome event is unofficial, and will not earn championship points. It's a rare opportunity to ride something other than a conventional track bike on an indoor velodrome.

After the popularity of the (narrow, twisty) track at Hereford, we're doing a double-bill with the similar track at Evesham. Should be good fun for the un-faired and multitrack riders.

And we've managed to secure exclusive use of the (eyewateringly expensive) Betteshanger Park track for a weekend in September. Not a full World Championships, but we hope that some riders from continental Europe will take the opportunity to come over to enjoy the track, which with its long swooping curves and good sight-lines is well suited to faster machines.

I've been a little distracted with broad-spectrum DIY, but the British Human Power Club racing season kicks off at #Hillingdon on Saturday. Registrations close at midday tomorrow.

Our events are open to anyone over the age of 12, on anything that's human-powered and meets a minimal set of safety requirements.
