Naked bike ride is gonna get cheeky
The World Naked Bike Ride organizes in Milwaukee on Saturday.

Because of a river, railroad tracks, freeway, and cemetery, this might be the most direct path for me to bike to work.
Some of it is separated bike lane, some is multi-use path, some is residential streets, and some is terrible roads with speeding cars.

#QueensZoo needs to ditch these awful bike racks and install staple racks. This same amount of space could fit at least a dozen bikes, but the "wheel bender" rack is just space inefficient.

So close! I was able to ride the new (separated) bike lane along Lisbon Avenue in Milwaukee this morning.
Of course *getting to it* is not easy. IT starts at Lisbon & Burleigh which is a really crappy intersection. I rode side streets up to 74th and then crossed Burleigh to get to Lisbon.
Not ideal, but it's doable. Sad because I live a half block from Lisbon but two more blocks before the bike lane starts.

Okay so I park my bike in the back hall at work and I jokingly scrawled "Bike Parking" in the dust on a large door.
And today there was a second bike!
Keep in mind only 8 people work here. I knew who it belonged to... they didn't bike in but dropped it off in case they need it due to a shared car situation.
#BikeTooter

We expected rain (but no ⚡⛈️).
So we got our jackets, did our errands with our little bike trailer - and were lucky because it didn't even rain 💪
✅ Saved fuel again
✅ Physical activity
✅ Faster way to detach from work
✅ Saw a couple of cats
Totally recommended!

Rode our new bikes to Pramort, the easternmost accessible point of the Zingst peninsula, where we saw a wild boar, deer, and many birds. About 60 km total.

I biked 6 miles this morning. Felt pretty good. My back didn’t seem to mind… I did have a little knee pain at one point. (Which is one of the reasons I switched to an ebike.)
I may wait a bit to try biking to work, especially since it’s supposed to be 90 °F next week. 😭

Eight days out from breaking my rib, I took my favourite bike out of the shed this afternoon for a wee ride, to see if by any chance I would be able to ride into Castle Douglas (40Km round trip) tomorrow to pick up my medicine.
I managed about two hundred metres.
The answer is 'no'.

Added Power Grips (pedal straps) to my wife's #Brompton. Not going to say it's my nicest work, but I'm hopeful that it'll hold. I only drilled holes through the plastic reflectors; the metal is all intact. I can change that later if needed. #BikeTooter

Very nice new tool showing #bike routes in #Austria with lots of configurability: https://radatlas.at/

Cyclist bitten by brown snake caught in her bike chain
The woman, in her 60s, was riding on a northern NSW rail trail when she ran over a two-metre snake that became trapped then bit her.  

It’s been three weeks since spinal surgery so I did a little test ride around the neighborhood. Nothing impressive but, hey… gotta start small, right?

Any bike can be a cargo bike if you are determined enough.

My wife & kids are away (the kids at camp, my wife for a conference). As such, I have turned the living room into a proper bike shop. Currently 4 bikes in various states of repair - my wife's road bike, my father-in-law's brand new bike, the 9yo's new bike, and a folding bike. I have a new cassette for my mid-tail bike, too, but I think I'll order new tires first before I replace it. #BikeTooter

My bike riding has been poor this year, due to spinal stenosis and then spinal surgery in June... but hopefully the numbers will go up for the rest of the year.
(And who knows? Maybe I'll update some of the Python code that generates these.)

Every now and then you come across something good in the bike lane…
(This is the third or fourth hammer I’ve found on the street in my lifetime.)

Back on the bike on the train, making intercity rail actually useful as a commuter option by using my own bicycle to extend their service area all the way from Home to Office.
I wish Metrolinx didn't have such regressive policies about me "inconveniencing" people who drove a half-ton truck 8km to the train station.

2 men killed in scooter-bike collision on Queensboro Bridge, NYPD says
Both were riding in the bike lane in opposite directions when they crashed, police said.

Bike People, tell me why you hate this kind of bike rack.
#bikeTooter #cycling

My wife and me both have commitments during the day. So we just did a 2h cycling to our beautiful reservoir and back. It went really well and it felt good to be on the bike.
Especially as it's not so hot any more.
Enjoy your weekend!

I remember back before I biked to work but I wanted to bike to work.
Today would have been one of those days where I was like "I'm too tired, didn't sleep well, my body is sore, there's no *way* I could bike to work today" and yet...
I biked to work today.
In a way, that's the exact kind of day I *should* bike to work.

I can never remember when the Criterium is. #Shorewood #Criterium #Bike #NorthShore

My new license plate arrived!
(It’s a reward for pledging to get the real one made. If enough people pledge support they’ll make an actual car license plate that will raise funds for the Bike Fed.)

Today's bike ride to work sucked. Wearing a respirator for 30 minutes isn't very comfortable. I had to adjust it a few times and it was much worse breathing in the wildfire smoke so respirator it is.
I can only assume our climate will get worse as time goes on so I figured I might want to get used to this.

The sports medicine facility I go to for PT sent me a survey. The last question was a big text box to tell them about my experience so I wrote this:
“Overall a great experience. My only complaint is the bike rack in the parking structure that is super-cheap/poor quality and not even bolted down.”
#bikeTooter

I tried a new bike route to work today. I originally planned this due to some upcoming road closures but I really like it!
Minimal contact with cars and busy roads (except for the last 1.4 miles) and I get to use the new separated bike lane on Lisbon Avenue.

The bike lane is a great place to store these barrels when the speed limit is 35mph and cars tend to go 40 mph.
Last night I said "screw it" and used the sidewalk. I am against biking on the sidewalk (and it's illegal here) but if the provided (crappy) infrastructure isn't even available I'll do it.

You can check out the team names for the Riverwest 24 bike ride/race coming up next month...
(I should be able to 'unofficially' ride along for some of it this year.)

This will be my first year commuting to work in the winter on an ebike. I know you can get neoprene covers to wrap around the bike where the battery is, with the idea to keep it warmer for better performance.
Does anyone use those battery covers? Do they actually work?

Earlier in the week I decided I should ride my bike to work on Friday... then today I was asked if I could be in by 7:30am on Friday.... can I do both? We'll find out tomorrow!
#bikeTooter

Am I too late for a #BikeNitePQ ?
My neighbor was complaining about squeaky disc breaks on his bike. I mentioned that I read you can use a high-grit sandpaper to sand the disc a bit and that might fix it... then I offered to help.
Does that work? Is it a good idea to try it?

I was hoping to bike to work today but it looks like rain… but it also looks like a good day to learn how to ride in the rain.

The 360 camera is kind of fun for doing silly things...

I tried out one of those 360 cameras on my bike ride this morning...

Is it inappropriate if I ask a woman to show me a photo of her bike?
#bikeTooter

I call this one: "Who needs a stick when we have car-brained people with giant vehicles".
