This is really interesting
#bike safety attire disguises people as highly visible non-humans?
Winning strategy! 🦺💀
Great insight though, that could lead to safety breakthroughs
I’m curious what “human” looking cyclists would have to look like to satisfy dangerous drivers 🫤
I wonder if putting eyes on the back of #BikeHelmets would help?
Like they put eyes on the back of helmets to prevent people from getting attacked by tigers 🐯

If you are in the market for an easy-to-use way to store your #bike then you should check out the 'Hornit Clug Pro'.
I needed to free up some storage space and this does the trick. Installed these yesterday and I'm quite impressed with them.

I wasn’t able to find a hotel to cut my travel into two same distance rides. So this ride was longer than I want.
Nice landscapes and still green at this time.

It's summer, which is cycling season and I'm back, in colour-graded 4K, with a new video about my new road bike!
I shot the footage of the bike in RAW video on a Magic Lantern-hacked Canon EOS M, which I colour-graded to really make the colours and shading pop.
Enjoy.

There is a lot of talk about what REAL gravel riding is, and how American gravel is the real thing.
Anyhoo, I was overtaken by a pickup truck while riding gravel, that must be the most authentic merica it can get in Nottz.
Day 17: Andorra to Guardiola de Berguedà, #Spain | 104 km | Elevation gain 1884 m
End of the ride with heavy rain, so I decided to remove the last pass of my ride.
I arrived safe but all wet at my hotel.

OK, #Oakland #bike #riders, no cheating. Read this 1895 #article from the #SanFranciscoExaminer, describing "A Short But Picturesque Ride Through Jack Hayes Canyon" and see if you can figure out what the author is describing, without scrolling down to the modern #maps. A few of those landmarks might make sense, but I bet many don't, same with the #roads. It took me a bit to puzzle out the route, which is still a decent #bicycle ride. You'll learn some Oakland #history while you're at it.
@glecharles I took a #bike ride, cut it short after about 2 miles. Got to me quickly.
Kanina, habang puma-@padyak sa lansangan, may napansin akong siklista.
Kampante siyang nagpe-pedal ng kanyang road bike, spiky ang buhok niyang kulay olandes ('di karaniwan sa #Pilipinas) at may sukbit na kulungang gawa sa alambreng itim sa balikat!
Kahit pa siguro may cargo holder siya sa #bike niya (pero, wala) ay hindi kasya ang kulungan.

A new study found that 30% of people do not see cyclists as human, with those riding bicycles while wearing helmets or safety vests seen as less human than those without

Been ages since I've been out on the #bike thanks to hayfever and heavy rain, but I went for breakfast yesterday and surveyed the damage to the bike path. There were some pretty serious rockfalls and mud washed onto it, but nothing impassible.

A car driver (without registration) ran a red light "at speed" and hit a 10-year-old cyclist, knocking her over the windscreen and "through the air". The driver then immediately drove off, abandoning the car a bit later, and running away.
Amazingly, in Bolton Crown Court, a £1600 fine and 12-month driving ban was considered enough.

Only a car driver would be treated like this in court, as the first commentator notes:
'The new study from Australia found that an alarming number of people do not see cyclists as human, 30 per cent saying they considered those riding #bicycles as less than fully human'
https://road.cc/content/news/reaction-cyclists-wearing-helmets-seen-less-human-301693
'yesterday's article about the new research from Queensland University of Technology and Flinders University in Australia — showing that #cyclists wearing helmets or high-visibility clothing are dehumanised more than those without — has certainly got people talking.'
Quite disappointed to not be allowed to bring my #foldable #bike onto a long distance #bus from #Norway to #Sweden.
FWIW, it's apparently completely fine if I put it into a large bag. Which is... totally convenient if you bring only very few things to begin with. #WTF
#vy that's not how a flexible alternative to air travel looks like and is some shameful shit!

I'm trialing some wax based chain lube instead of the usual 'dry' oil.
I've heard good things about wax, but it might be marketing.
I'm using a drip wax on both bikes.
New 10 speed Shimano cassette and chain on the gravel bike, and an 11 speed Campagnolo cassette and KMC chain on the road bike.
I stripped the lube off both chains and I've applied drip wax 3 times and left to dry before riding. Shifting seems good on both bikes.

So, rather than consider #LightRail or more #Bike friendly options (or better yet, commuter rail that allows bikes), it seems that southern #Maine / #GreaterPortland / #MDOT is hot on putting in a highway bypass that will ruin #forested and #agricultural land, and encouraging more #sprawl!

Portland City Council takes stand against Gorham Connector
Peter McGuire, Portland Press Herald, Maine
July 15, 2022
"The Portland City Council this week asked the Maine Turnpike Authority to halt work on a four-lane toll highway to communities west of the city, arguing that the project known as the Gorham Connector is incompatible with local and state plans to combat climate change and that planners should consider reducing rush-hour traffic with rapid transit."
https://news.yahoo.com/portland-city-council-takes-stand-080400605.html
@Stephen304 Wow! Some great resources! Here in Southern #Maine, we're having to deal with a #highway bypass and interchange cutting through #forests and #agricultural lands, rather than resurrect #lightrail and #bike friendly options. I feel like I'm in good company with this list.
Another amazing day out there, seventy km, about half #gravel. I love the way the gravel bike has opened up new roads I’d never have chanced to explore on my old road #bike.
Felt bad for a poor #feral #cat who heard me coming and sprinted some 300m at 30 km/h before diving into the tall grass as I closed the distance between us. He never looked back and I’ve never seen a domestic cat run so far so fast.
"The Asia-wide #bike protest on Sunday was the seventh since 2021 and was meant to create awareness on the #climate crisis and to mobilize citizens to pressure corporations and governments to take climate action."
Not covered at all in western news. Maybe it's time for bike riders in the global north to co-organise rides where they live.

I’m shook.
Just rode an #ebike for the first time. I’ve been intrigued for a while, but figured I would stick with human power for as long as my legs could turn unassisted.
This ride was so much fun and gave me a completely different experience of urban mobility. Only traveled a few miles—from Capitol Hill to Dupont Circle—but it was like being a kid again. Best two-wheeled experience in ages. Face hurts from smiling.
PSA to the young woman on a Peugeot #bike blasting 20+ over the sidewalk without a helmet just now: if my Christiania had even brushed you, you would have ended there
I ended up chatting to an older man about his foldable #bike today
- 🚲 he has his bike since 2010 and still enjoys it greatly
- 🪫 he’s afraid he has to get a new one next year since his battery is getting old and he can not get a replacement anymore. Rest of the bike still works great, which makes it extra sad for him.
- 🤦♂️ he regularly argues with DB conductors as many don’t know that you can take a folded bike on the train for free and want to give him a fine

First weekend #bike trip. So excited 😁
🚲🚆🌳
The hardest part was to squeeze with my #MTB through the hallway of train car to the place where I suppose to hang my bike 😅
Now I can do #WeeklyReview in @nozbe on the #Train 👌
Very curious about the internal workings of #AppleMaps & #pdx #bike routing.
We've got a greenway network that Maps doesn't acknowledge. But it also invents bike lanes, putting you on fast, narrow streets. and it picks un-signaled crossings for arterials (e.g .Cesar Chavez). It's worse on intra-quadrant routes.
I try to report unsafe or misleading segments when I'm planning a route in advance & have time. I'm sure someone gets right on that.
(fwiw Google Maps seems to pick calmer routes)
I'm not #newHere, but I guess I never introduced myself. I'll keep it short, too:
I like the #bike in almost all its forms, #Linux, #OpenSource in general.
What I don't like: injustice, nazis, racists and intolerant assholes.
My favourite #: #BikeTooter #CarryShitOlympics.
Have a great day!
so i think the bike i have is a little long for me and even though i have the seat as far forward as it'll go, i could still be a few inches more forward.
does anyone know of like...extra forward bike seats? or other modifications i can make that might help with this problem?

The first sign of Summer is a sign. 'Summer pedestrian street. Slow down.’
Cars aren’t actually banned, but the speed limit is 15km and pedestrians & cyclists have the right of way. I adore the cartoonish car-slowing flower pots that are installed with the Summer Street signs. Any driver who bothers has to crawl behind the rest of us anyway, because we walk, cycle, chat, drink and dine in the middle of the street as if we think we own the road. Because hey, we do!
Finally, the US will take some baby steps in regulating safety of pedestrians in roadways filled with cars; i.e., it will alter the NCAP (new car assessment program) go give a skill score of not only in vehicle injury potential… but also external vehicle (!pedestrian !cyclists) injury potential.
Good news for folks walking/biking… albeit a baby step. Comments requested at 2nd link.
Got stiffed twice more and decided to do the repair myself. I had to invest [checks notes] 21 € in speciality tools that will serve me well for a long while.
With that, for the first time in my life, I did a full Shimano XT 10-speed gears renewal, front and back, purrs like a cat. Took me about 90 minutes including watching some tutorial videos.
Feeling very proud of myself. 🥰
this weekend is Ride London - a 100 mile sportive on closed roads. It's going to be a lot of fun. I'm doing it sponsored for The Bike Project, who do up 2nd hand bikes for refugees. A genuinely life changing charity.
And because 100 miles isn't long enough, I'm riding from birmingham to london and back either side :) (assuming my slightly injured shoulder holds up!)
Here's the sponsorship link. Feel free to be generous :)
Some great bike paint jobs I saw today. Love the stickers on the Bianchi.
This morning's #BikeToSchool started out a little prickly, but it's hard to stay mad when you're riding a #bicycle. And if there's any angst leftover by the time you get to school, you can hug it out at the #bike rack.

It drives me nuts when new multi-use (bike/ped) paths are designed like this. Why is it curvy? People just want to #bike and walk in a straight line. Is there some planning class teaching them to design it like this? 😂 #BikeTooter
I'm usually all for #bicycle infrastructure, but nobody needs to ride a bicycle anywhere near this ditch. If you're already that far north just go ride along the river.

What we need to do is close Ainsworth to automobile traffic; install planters at 33rd and 15th.
you think you know how to #bike and then you bike in amsterdam during rush hour on a borrowed bike from the hotel, which has a coaster brake (a thing you haven’t had on a bike since you were 8), a regular hand brake that barely worked, AND since the hotel bikes only had one size, a bike too tall to get your foot on the ground when stopped.
it was a disaster which, now in hindsight, i shall just deem an adventure.

I use my car too much. If I rode a bike to all my major stops in town in one go, this would be me entire journey. This includes the supermarket, hardware store, library, post office...
What I need to do is find a bike suitable for cargo, and that I am happy to leave outside a store, for a reasonable price.
