Ooooh! The current Printables contest is for 3D printed bike gear!
#3Dprinting

Bike Gear | Contest theme | Printables.com
If you like to ride your bicycle, you know—there’s always something that could work better. This round is for 3D-printable parts and accessories that make cycling smoother, safer, or just more fun. Think mounts for lights or action cameras, bottle holders, custom tool clips, chain keepers, mudguards, storage solutions, or transport helpers. Or give your bike some personality with custom valve caps, spoke decorations, handlebar charms, or other small touches that turn it into the bike of you…

I’ve been out biking all day and I’m still outside, soaking up the beautiful weather.
Biking brings my autistic self so much joy!

The other fun part of my ride today was when a guy had to wait an extra 10 seconds for me to go through an intersection before he could make a left turn.
He yelled "Get on the sidewalk!" and while I was tempted to yell "I'm in the bike lane!" I just sort of laughed it off.

Today'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.

Did 6 miles this morning, almost made a rectangle, but those Tosa streets are tricky!

Today’s ride was 8.3 miles… nothing too exciting to report. (In other news I’ve been relearning SQL to pull data from the RunGap SQLite database.)

There is an e-bike Lending Library...

Community Pedal Power E-Bike Lending Library

I’m planning a small bike tour around the Copenhagen region to explore the area more slowly and meet people along the way.
My route will take me from Copenhagen to HelsingŸr, then to HillerŸd, Roskilde, and back to Copenhagen.

Trying to decide between going with a budget ebike around $1,000 or a better model from a local shop that would be double that price.
The cheaper one is definitely within my budget, while the other option is quite a bit more that I’d like to spend…
Hoping to commute to work, 7 miles each way, both could handle that easily…

This morning I had to get some work done so I did a short ride of just 3 miles around the neighborhood on the old 1970's Raleigh. I tried to notice what causes the squeaks and rubbing noises and did a little maintenance when I got home.
No huge hills on this ride, it's a 3-speed, but I did have an average 11mph for the 16 minute ride.

Sooo, I rode the ebike this morning, did my longest ride, in minutes and miles. Burned tons of calories, so yeah… ebike means more exercise, not less.
#biking #bikeTooter #ebike

It’s been awhile since I did a “fast as I can” cemetery ride and I was amazed at my average speed. I kept it going on the streets a bit more to do 8 miles total.
#biking #bikeTooter #mke

Holy Crap! I biked to work... I took the (borrowed) ebike and it took 24 minutes. (I had estimated 35-40.) My route was about 7 miles. (The bike said 7, my phone said 6.7.)
This drive usually takes about 15 minutes by car. I probably spent at least a few minutes waiting at stoplights at the busier streets but taking the Oak Leaf Trail was smooth as hell.

Someone said there’s a huge difference between going 20mph and 28mph on a bike. I completely agree.

Today I rode the ebike to Capital Drive which is 5 miles towards work... It looks like it would be 3 miles from there to get to work, so 8 miles total, which is 2 more than I estimated.
But on the ebike it was a breeze. I tried to go pretty fast, and the route I took was a perfect biking route. The first 6.5 miles should be easy, though the last 1.5 might be a bit treacherous.
I'll try Thurs or Fri if I can.

Somehow I managed 9.54 miles today in 48 minutes with an average speed of 12mph... I guess I made up for yesterday when I only did 4 indoor miles.

I rode 11.8 miles today. Went to Firefly Grove Park in Wauwatosa where they have a pump track and talked to two of the guys using it.
One really wanted me to try, and offered his bike as well, but after riding there uphill most of the way for 4 miles I said "I'll just watch you guys!" so I did.
I did ride on the smaller part of the track, and I can see the appeal, with the right bike.

Damn, this ebike things is actually pretty cool. I did my normal ride in the cemetery without using the motor and my stats are pretty damn close to my acoustic rides.
I’m probably going to have a lot to say about it this week.

Bike Friends, uhhh… my wheel fell off? The fork slid apart. How much of a concern is this? I rode with no issues but I do hang my bike by the front tire all the time.
#biking #bikes #bikeTooter…

I’ve been resting up all day, taking it easy… sore throat is gone (since Wednesday night) and no snot or congestion today, just tired really.
Hoping I can make it out to Riverwest 24 tomorrow for the biking fun that is the People’s Holiday.

Today’s ride was tough but I got in 12 miles and saw a bird… I did see another large bird and a baby rabbit but didn’t get photos.
#biking #bikeTooter #mke

13.78 miles today because I got less than 5 hours of sleep so I was up and out early. 172 miles for the month (the most ever!) and just over 700 for the year so far.

Sigh, well I was feeling good about getting an ebike but I stopped by a local shop and the model I was looking at is pretty much sold out everywhere. They do have newer models ($more expensive$) and some other modes so I may need to do up that whole spreadsheet of features to compare things.

I am hoping to do 1,000 miles on the bike this year. It's still June and I'm at 650 (surpassing the 620 for all of 2024.) I also did 120 this month which is the most miles I've done in a single month. I am glad I started riding and try to do it daily.

Scrappy Hour Ride – June 2025
It was way too hot to ride a bike...

I had to pedal like crazy the last half mile to keep my average speed at 12mph…
