@ruari@velocipederider.comI needed to bring a few things into the office today, which is always a bit annoying as my back tends to get hot when I cycle with a backpack on. Then I suddenly remembered that #TallBikesArePractical and I have a shit ton of storage space below me.
Look at my little backpack. It looks tiny down there! 🤏 🎒

@rasterweb@mastodon.socialThe current "bike to work" carry is a milk crate zip tied to a rear rack. I gave it a nice paint job and did a little cutout right behind the seat. There's a piece of foam in the bottom to prevent rattling (I toss my lock back there) and the bungee holds my backpack in place securely.

@midtsveen@social.linux.pizzaHaving a mom who brings home this pin from work and understands me as someone who’s queer and gender-fluid had me smile.
@cyrevolt@mastodon.socialI just saw someone at Aschaffenburg station with patches on their backpack: the Rust logo and Ferris. 🦀 🎒
@andres4ny@social.ridetrans.itHad our first Ortlieb pannier die. We did have another one that was new and had issues immediately (which they replaced under warranty and has been solid ever since; https://social.ridetrans.it/@Andres4NY/112372360659262541 ). But otherwise, our various

@hikingdude@mastodon.social*I bought an actioncam.*
Finally!
I'm learning how to use it properly. I tried to capture some impressions from our #cycling ride last weekend near #Tegernsee. (And learned that I should really buy an appropriate SD Card.)
Don't worry, I'm still commited to photograph…
@UP8@mastodon.social... as it turns out the folks from R5 were knocking on my door just as I was setting up this shot: here's my new photo backpack and my new water bottle.
They had a bunch of abandoned water bottles at the Catherwood Library so I asked the clerk: "I work for an organization founded by Elmo Roper, can I have the bottle with Elmo?" and they gave it to me.

@salrandolph@zirk.us“Every one of us has a secret book,” Hélène Cixous says. She’s talking about childhood books, and I have those too, but if you look in my backpack you’ll always find a secret book of the moment. One of my most magical secret books has been Dime-Store Alchemy by the poet Charles Simic.

@samerfarha@mastodon.socialIt’s “you should take your tactical backpack off your back before you board a Metro train” season. Yes, that’s right, it’s also “a problem at Stadium Armory” season and “we aren’t running eight-car trains for some reason” season.
@smurthys@hachyderm.ioClever wife. Knows exactly when to hand me the backpack. 😰
(you can't tell but that is an uphill trail, just turned uphill after I got the backpack)

@rasterweb@mastodon.socialToday's ride to work on the borrowed ebike. Took a route I really don't like due to flooding of the Menomonee River, but it was okay. Made it under 24 minutes. (My car commute is typically 15 minutes, so that's pretty good!)
Brought a spare shirt to work since I have to wear a backpack to carry things. Also, 6.66 miles? Epic.

@midtsveen@social.linux.pizzaHappy #AutisticPrideDay! ♾️💙
I’m proudly autistic, my brain works in its own unique way, full of different thoughts and feelings all at once. Being autistic is part of who I am, not something to fix. 🧠🧠
I’m also queer and genderfluid, and that’s just another part of my colorful identity. Some days I feel one way, some days another, and that’s okay. 🏳️🌈☂️

@hikingdude@mastodon.socialMy bike&hike yesterday 🙂
This is when I talk about mountainbiking: not fierce downhills - but uphills 😄 Including an evil ramp of 23% incline (regarding my cycling computer - and my legs) on gravel that I didn't expect.
(especially as I was carrying a backpack including camera and tele-lens)
Still working on the photos from the day before. Today is a rest-day for me.
My legs still feel a bit sore. My back is fine already
@leftsidestory@mstdn.social @UP8@mastodon.social𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝: 𝑁𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑙 𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 by Charles Perrow. It made a big impression on me when I first came across it but when I put it in my backpack for a trip to Binghamton I recalled that the versions of many incidents in it aren’t the best you can find in the literature.
Not sure how well it aged: flying has gotten safer and people don’t write about maritime accidents like they did in the 70’s

I’m just too fabulously queer and genderfluid to function like anyone expects. My identity is a whole spectrum, shifting and sparkling with every color and every gender. 🌈✨
Some days I’m femme, some days I’m masc, and some days I’m something totally unique and undefined. 💖💙🤍
