#UrbanCycling for cycling in towns and cities, usually for transport purposes.
#CyclingUK for cycling in the UK (and presumably for what was previously the CTC).
#Coffeeneuring for folks who #AlwaysBeCoffeeneuring or who are taking part in the annual challenge (ride a bike 7 times at least 2 miles and have a beverage).
Have also seen #SustainableTransport , although that's not cycling specific.

Střední čára se skládá z bílých ploch z termoplastu, které dohromady tvoří abstrahované číslo 30 – ovšem tak nenápadně, že ho mnozí řidiči ani nezaregistrují jako číslo. Vzor nanáší standardní vyznačovací stroj, který se běžně používá pro čáry na vozovce. Jde tedy o rychlé a ekonomicky nenáročné řešení.

Wild close-call in Karlstad! I’m cycling slowly on Västra Torggatan when a woman and a man step right in front of a patrolling police car — I had to brake hard. Tense and baffling, a great reminder to stay alert on the road. Quick clip from Bicycle adventures. #Cycling #Bikelife #UrbanCycling #BikeSafety #Karlstad #Sweden #English

Quick ride-along from State Hwy 30 pedestrian & bike overpass into the Ridgeway neighborhood east of East Town Mall — snowy streets, local sights, and smooth urban cycling vibes. Perfect for short-ride inspo and winter route planning! #BikeTooter #Velophant #Madison #Wisconsin #Cycling #UrbanCycling #RideAlong #Snow #MadisonCollege #English

I am back from FOSDEM. This was quite a ride! And of course the last leg was the train 🚄 + bike 🚲 combo. My bike was waiting for me safely at the amazing Gare du nord bike parking, just 3 minutes away from the platform 🤩

1. Don't do that again, it hurts. I was in a hurry, thinking of other things, and distracted by some nearby pedestrians, but this tight turn requires my undivided attention.
2. The crash detection function on my Garmin Forerunner 255 watch works as intended. My watch and phone both beeped for a while before sending an incident notification email with live GPS location link to my wife, then when I finally cancelled it sent an "I'm OK actually, I don't need help" follow up notification.
3. If I'm going to crash, crash closer to home. Now I'm at the office with my bike feeling like I'm not going to be able to ride it home or walk to and from train stations with it. Might need to leave it parked in the staff bike storage room here until after the holidays.

Arse. Misjudged my setup for the temporary hairpin at the north end of the Shrimpton's Creek Cycleway, clipped the fence on the right, and went down on my left.
Grazed knee, very sore toe, and overstretched calf muscles, but nothing serious. Just some minor scrapes on the left side of the bike, so after straightening the handlebars I was able to get back on it and slowly ride the remaining kilometre to work.
This has taught me a few things...

What's the least favourite part of your commute, Anthony?
Definitely that bit. That bit right there, when the gradient briefly gets close to 13%. Even with e-assist on maximum I still have to work hard to drag my heavy bike, heavy pannier bag and heavy self up that slope.
Fortunately it's very short, it's on a low traffic road, and it's the only climb of any note on the entire route. For the rest of the ride I turn down the e-assist to level 2 of 3, unless I'm in a big hurry.

Some people might wonder why I went to the effort of hunting down NTA 8776 helmets for myself and the kid, given that it's a Dutch standard motivated by high power e-bikes capable of motoring themselves up to 45 km/h (functionally electric mopeds) and neither the kid nor I have one of those. I ride a low power e-bike (<250W up to 25 km/h) while the kid rides a purely pedal powered flat bar gravel bike.
The thing is, *any* bicycle is capable of 45 km/h or more if you put the effort in and/or go downhill. NTA 8776 helmets are designed to offer enhanced protection against higher speed impacts and cover more of the head compared to helmets that only meet the normal EN 1078 or equivalent standards. I certainly want that for myself and especially my kid so it's a bit frustrating that the cycling gear distributors in Australia still can't be bothered to import them, and most of the overseas online stores don't seem to have realised that that they're allowed to ship them here now either.
