  1. Did you know that I interview people about bikes? And do a wee little photoshoot at the same time?

    Do you want to be part of it?

    If you're in Adelaide, it's easy. We catch up. Drink coffee* and chat. Then we ride somewhere and do photos.

    If you're not in Adelaide, it's less easy.

    The chat isn't an issue, but the photos are. But I'm sure we can figure something out.

    Do you want to see the two and half of these chats that have been published? Then head over to spokes-person.com and have a scroll. There's a bit of other good stuff going on there too.

    I'm just about to do my first remote bike chat in 15 minutes, so we'll see how that goes!

    I guess some #cycling, #xbiking, #coffeeoutside, #Adelaide, #biking kind of hashtags should go here.

    *or a beverage of some sort

  2. I am very proud of this build my partner and I worked on. They got super into researching and defining the aesthetic, and I think it's going to be a very nice chill adventure rig and around town bike. I'm particularly pleased with how well the rear rack and fender integrated together! We currently have some #milsurp bags we are planning on modifying into panniers (assuming we can get rid of the smell)

  3. I think this must be the coolest bike on campus.

    It is just pure practical function!

  4. Okay, so there's a joke in the community about having "Talismans" on your bike, and I want to turn into the skid and take it a little more literally. I already have a Nazar on my saddlebag, but I'd love to inscribe some wards/glyphs/sigils/runes as I build it up, and I'm looking for ideas.

    I'm building the wheels, and wheelbuilders already frequently hang a loop around the hub, so that could be an interesting place to hang something.

    Etching protective glyphs along the fender is kind of what got me down this rabbithole.

    I know rotating circles are supposed to be powerful, so inscribing something along the rims might be interesting.

    I'm open to ideas from any culture or tradition, but would prefer to avoid christian/angelic iconography. Just not my speed.

    This bike is moving in a bit of a goblincore direction, and I'd like to lean into that.

    I'm open to trading mechanic expertise for favors, or skillsharing!

  6. @vespasianvs Hi, me too. I don't know though if cycling to hang out with friends or cycling to a campground or a town or just a park also counts as utility cycling, and frankly I don't care 😄 #xbiking
