New 70 lux Fischer dynamo headlight is fitted to my bike. Currently working on the USB stem cap, and I've yet to fit my dynamo-to-USB circuitry to my bike.
When done, I'll again be able to charge USB gadgets while riding.
That's important to me, as I do off-grid #CycleTouring.
Hub dynamos don't deliver enough power to run lights & USB at the same time, so during the day I do charging and at night use lights.

Today on the #carfreeday2023 we just got a letter from the current #cdu gov. in Berlin bragging about how they fought hard and could screw up the plans for the new bike lanes that are being built in our neighborhood.
Of course plans have been changed in favor of cars and car parking.
I'm speechless 🤡

Also, I just discovered a broken spoken on my other bike's rear wheel that was just handbuilt at the shop a few months back (and also trued after a couple weeks of riding back then to be safe). :'(
seven years strong!! 💜
when I bought this bike, I was still in school and needed a simple, inexpensive bike that would get me from A to B. bonus points for offering my first foray into single-speed/fixed gear riding (it has a flip-flop hub!)
tbh I did not think this bike was going to last this long!! whether for wear & tear or theft reasons.
these are the original tires, if you can believe it. absolutely nuts how sturdy this guy is.
... maybe steel IS real! 😁
Kind of annoyed with White Industries at the moment. The original press-fit bearings in my Stanyan's MI5 rear hub needed replacement a long while ago, so I had my local bike shop order them (which took forever to be shipped by Enduro) and swap them out. Unfortunately, the same amount of play persisted after the bearing swap despite said shop following White Industries's directions to the T multiple times. My shop has called White Industries multiple times only to not be given any recourse.
I've been out that Stanyan for several weeks now and I don't know if I should just get a different hub put in the wheel or something at this point. 😒
Glorious morning Melbourne is putting on! Some wispy clouds, blue skies, sunny day. Was a crisp 6 when I went for my ride, going to be a great day. Just hung a load out on the line, that will be nicely dry by tonight. And thank fuck, it's almost the weekend!

I love my new bike. This is the best fitting bike that I think I've ever owned.
I used MyVeloFit, which is an online bike fitting tool, to find bikes that would fit me based on a scan of my body. I'm a hard fit and all my road bikes have been a little off. This one wasn't in the database, but it was within millimeters of the geometry of a bike that MyVeloFit suggested.
#PublicTransit advocates in Wilmington #NC needed to complete a survey on rail, bus, bike, and pedestrian #transportation needs in the area. Responses will help shape the WMPO’s infrastructure plans for the next 25 years.

We pushed our bikes a ridiculous steep, mostly unridable gravel path toward the bosnian border.
From an german cyclist we got the recomendation to visit the Buško jezero lake. It was a super rec.! we stayed there, chilling on the beach for two days 😎.

Visiting the Norwegian city of Bergen, I cycled along a stunning 3-km bike path blasted through a mountain.
It's the longest bike tunnel in the world -- and a centerpiece of Bergen's plans to reduce driving.
I wrote about it in Bloomberg CityLab.

Totally naive and happy we cycled smooth on a super new asphalted mainroad. No car appeared, we had the whole road for us...
yes, we ignored the sign 'driving banned'...
After almost one hour cycling we knew why they closed the new street (without detour possibility). A huge (~3km) constuction site was there. Oh no, do we really have to turn around? No, the friendy workers waved us through and we passed all the big street-constuction-machines.
#cycling #Cetina
Later on we reached the natural spring #Cetina. Because we spotted it on #organicMaps we cycled there to refill our bottles. And once more, we were surprised about this magical place. In the karst mountains every single raindrop disapears inbetween the rocks and stone layers. But down in the valley the #water appears suddenly at one point directly out of the ground.

So many cyclists hate hills, but they're GOOD for you. As I always say, the hill is not IN the way, the hill IS the way.
But there is a secret you can use *right now* to get better at hills:

Last night was a Zero-Car City special of Ignite Liverpool. We had a bunch of excellent talks (as ever).
I compered the evening, and also took a little timelapse of some of the second half (featuring me, @defnetmedia and @Styles, plus #PelotonLiv)

I feel like this #cycling session yesterday maybe was a bit too hard lol. But it was only one hour. Just with a training stress score I normally ride in 2 hours.
Also I really need to do an FTP test.
I decided to sell my original #LarryVsHarry #Bullitt cargo ebike and replace it with their larger model, the #BullittX. My kids are older now and don’t fit in the original any more, while the new one could realistically hold an adult passenger, or a lot more cargo. I loved the old bike and love the new one even more. Here’s a goofy, overprocessed picture on the Emeryville bike/ped bridge.
Today's bike ride was the longest ride that I've ever done. I rode through the maple-covered hills of Cook and Lake County in northern Minnesota. The maples were fiery red with fall color, especially near Cramer. All the gravel roads are in great shape for riding.
If you were planning on seeing the Minnesota north shore maples at peak fall color, this weekend is likely peak in the maples. The birch and aspen are still mostly green.
one of the best bits was the traffic jam on the way home. i’d guess it was 15km of me sailing past cars. had my first bit of anger from a driver on this side of the atlantic too. they unsuccessfully tried to block me off #cycling #biketooter #velophants #travel #panama
very fun today! the #panama canal is both incredibly cool and slightly disappointing. it’s genuinely one of the greatest things humanity has built — it’s all freshwater and closed to the sea with a ladder of locks. but it’s also behind barbed wire without an open towpath to ride along #travel #cycling #biketooter #velophants
Got out for a short ride, trying and failing to miss the downpours. Loads of (minor) flooding and debris about. #cycling
Had an errand to run in the Westboro area, so added almost 22km of #cycling to my activity for the day. Biking in #Ottawa traffic is no fun, especially Queen and Carling. Also annoying; the lack of bike parking in so many places. The one bike rack at my destination was packed, as were all the near-by sign posts.
I wonder what would be required to get our city to pass something requiring businesses to have adequate parking for cyclists. #OttBike
Nice video of the MTB scene in CDMX by Jeff Kendall-Weed, filmed in Desierto de los Leones (the black and blue squiggly lines in this map), which is accessible via the Ciclopista Ferrocarril de Cuernavaca (red curvy line).
Anyone got a recommendation for a UK-available cycling trailer for carrying cats and dogs (one at a time, not a ménagerie all at once)? Or, have you maybe gone for a cargo trike or something else instead?
P.S. I don't know what size of dog yet. This is part of scoping out whether I can still avoid buying a car while getting pets!
Sunak's Net Zero surrender is bad, but the previous plan wasn't enough. When it comes to cars, it isn't enough to just replace every petrol & diesel with an EV.
That would still give us air pollution (from tyres), congestion and road deaths.
Instead we need more e-bikes, public transport, car clubs and car hire.
Lots of people will still need to own a car - that's fine. But many won't, and they'll save money as a result.

is there a #CarryAlmostNothingOlympics hashtag? because I had to bop to the store for like four items. doesn't look like much, but I think these small bike trips are as important as the big ones!
under 10 minutes trip time each way. doubt this would have been much faster with a car honestly.
fossil fuels burned: 0
calories burned: probably some? idk, it was fun

#safeonSummerhill This week kids and other Footscray riders won a 2 year bike lane trial on Summerhill Rd.
"As the culmination of BikeWest's #safeonSummerhill campaign, a Kidical Mass cycling event was held for local residents who want their children and loved ones to be safe while traveling through our suburbs. We rode from Summerhill Road to the Council meeting in Braybrook.
At the meeting 12 of us spoke & really enlightened Council what was at stake. My god, the presentations were incredible - so heartfelt, personal, vulnerable, genuine."

Since its opening in August, the William Commanda bridge, linking Ottawa and Gatineau bike paths, has proved to be enormously popular, with approximately 7,500 people per day crossing on the first weekend of use. Almost 30,000 crossings were recorded in the first week, and over 100,000 crossings in August in total.

I'm collaborating on a presentation about how it's important for the people designing bike/ped infrastructure to actually *use* that infrastructure. We have no trouble coming up with infrastructure fails, but...
Can you name any examples of bike or pedestrian infrastructure that could have been designed really badly, but someone involved in the process fixed it because they had experience as a cyclist/pedestrian?
Edited to add: Ideally, we're looking for specific locations and as much related info as you can provide so we can pull photos from satellite or street view, track down documents from the planning/design process, etc.. (And if we use an example, we're happy to credit you if/how you like.)
