@trainguyrom Yeah, the being poorly/recovering from serious illness part of #UtilityCycling is where an e-bike would be super handy! Wouldn't stop me being blown off into a hedge (or under a tractor) though.

I wish I could tell when the windfarm on the hill over the road was stopped because it's too windy, and when it's because there's no capacity for the electricity it would be producing. I think "too windy for a windfarm" is probably a good measure for cycling.

Cycling fitness tip: live at the top of a hill and buy 7.5 litres of paint from a shop at the bottom of the hill.

I biked 6,030 km in 2024, up from 4,042 km in 2023.

~81% of this was for utility: commuting, going to the store, visiting friends, etc., with the rest for recreation. This is up from ~55% last year.

Counting only utility riding, I spent ~15 cents/km, down from ~18 cents/km last year.

My car had triple the expenses but only about half the mileage, so I sold it in August!

When shopping for plants, it’s important to consider how the colour of their foliage will go with your bike.

I biked 4,042 km in 2023. 44.1% of that was for recreation; 55.9% was for utility (with 32.0% for my commute). Almost all of this was on my Raleigh Record Ace.

I spent $417.37 on #cycling, including building new bike stands for my office. That's $0.103/km, or $0.185/km if you only count utility cycling. Compare to about $0.40/km driving!

I used #ledgercli to track distances and expenses, and #gnuplot for the graph.

#Introduction. I'm in the UK, I'm into #UtilityCycling and #ActiveTravel more generally and will post #VignettesFromTheBikeLane, especially if there's a dog in a basket or a small child wearing a tutu. I go for long #walks and will post the photos with #RosamundiWalks. I #read a lot and #sew. I follow #cricket (England #EnglandCricket, Lancashire #RedRoseTogether and Middlesex #OneMiddlesex) and take lots of photos of swans.

While I love living out in the sticks, visiting family in suburbia and bringing able to routinely get about by (my mum’s) Omafiets is so nice. #utilitycycling #cycling
