I rode my bike to the library to return a book, which isn't terribly exciting, but I'm pleased that I can now take care of local errands by bike instead of car.

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.)

Ouch
Toronto’s latest bike lane plan doesn’t propose new lanes for the first time in years

I hit 80 miles on my bike this month (yay!) but this morning was weird! I'm typically very careful, but three cars came way too close to me, or made bad turns near me.
I got home and realized I forgot to turn on my lights before I rode! Maybe lights really do make a huge difference.

Today, I tested the "Record Track" feature in @… during my bike ride in Bergen, Norway. 🙌
I’m already a fan of Organic Maps, and this feature worked very well for tracking my route on GrapheneOS.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to log their outdoor adventures! 🚴‍♂️

Flat tire. Had to wait for the rescue brigade (wife in station wagon).

Had a day off and did a 4 hour ride on the VA capital trail. Went much further than I planned. The forever punchline is the hill that leads to my house.... I always end up having to walk it.

Public service announcement: if you have a #bike with a carbon belt, take a minute to check the tension (there's an app). It makes a world of difference...

The new safer 17th Street bike lanes in Potrero Hill increased average daily bicycle volumes by 53%, from 1,167 to 1,782. #bikeSF

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.

Somehow we made this part of the Queensboro Bridge worse. This is a 3-4ft wide two-way bike lane. There's so much wrong with this, from the metal manhole cover taking up almost the entire width of the bike lane, to the MUTCD-violating usage of sharrows, to those shitty rumble strip/speed bump things THAT ARE LOOSE.
Wtaf! #bikeNYC

Out into the mist on this morning’s Purbeck ride to Kimmeridge
#Dorset #bike #cycling

23km bike ride today, to one town over, stopped for coffee, got my brows done, and dropped the bike at a shop for some long-overdue maintenance. Need to replace the chain, worn cassette, stretched brake cables, and clean a winter's worth of road grime out of every crevice.
That'll take a week, so bussed home. Got another coffee across the street while waiting 3 minutes for a transfer.
Good day.

I took the old 1970's Raleigh out this morning and it was creaky and had problems shifting, but it was also sort of a fun ride!
I only did about 1.5 miles and when I got home I realized the tires were low... like a lot more low than I think they should have been since I filled them three days ago.
Anyway, I may try to make the ride a bit smoother and see if I can get the shifting working better.

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.

My attempt to bike 1,000 miles this year is going well! And I also learned how to make bar graphs in Python...

Bike Month is back, and that means it's time for Pedal Poll! We're counting usage of active transit (and adjacent) facilities along corridors in our cities next week.
If you have 2 hours to spare, sign up for a shift!

Pretty boring route this morning but I got in 9.5 miles which is a lot for a weekday morning... I then did some relief prints and got ready for work so that was the "relaxing" part of the day I guess.

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.

I definitely did not expect to get in 11 miles today! It's getting pretty warm/hot in the mornings though. I was out at 6:30am and that was even a bit too warm.

Cycling question: trying out saddles, in the UK
UK cycling people, is there somewhere you'd go to sit on different saddles to test if they're comfortable? Is that a thing?
I've worked out that my (default came-with-the-bike) saddle isn't the right shape for me: it's giving me an achy tailbone, as well as I think being a bit too narrow for optimal sit-bone comfort.
For context, I'm an "occasional cyclist for pleasure and/or practical reasons", shall we say. No ambition to be super fast.
Looking around online, I think I want something more like the Rido R2 or one of the Selle ones, shaped to have air under the tailbone area. Or maybe even a noseless one like the Spongy Wonder, though I don't like the look of how the metal frame sticks out at the front of those.
What's the chances a shop would have more than one of those and a willingness to get them out for a test sit? Or, better still, is there a loan scheme anywhere, so you can actually "test drive" them for a bit? Or do people usually just buy and be willing to sell again?
I'm in Nottingham, and I know there are bike shops I could get to, but I'm not seeing "come in and try all these saddles, we'll help you to find the right one" kinds of messaging.
Could also potentially travel elsewhere at some point if it turns out there's some kind of "best place in the country for that question".
Advice welcome!

Finally whole again. Picked up a new refurb bike from revolve reCYCLING, highly recommend for anyone in Sydney.
Pictured in background, my beloved retro aluminium frame steed also from revolve. Alas, time has taken it's toll and the metal of the fear fork fractured. Looking to have it welded back together shortly.

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 had to change both tires on the 50 year old Raleigh and it was a bit of a pain but it’s up and rolling again. Too hot to ride now though… might give it a spin in the morning.

Today's bike ride was 8 miles but whatever the crazy thing is that I saw a guy get chased off the Menomonee River Parkway by a turkey! It chased him into the road, and he was running down the middle of the road and a car had to stop!

I rode my bike 600 miles in 2024 and it's June 1st, 2025 and I'm over 500 miles for this year!
My goal for 2025 is 1,000 miles which I think is still doable as long as I don't have any injuries (sigh) and nothing else goes wrong.

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.

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.

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

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