I made some progress on the Beat Bike!
The magnet mounted on the wheel passes a reed switch which is sensed by the control box (with a Raspberry Pi Pico) and then triggers the drum machine to step through the programmed sequence.
Still a lot of work to do, mostly mounting everything onto the bike, and some more code to write, but the proof of concept is all good.

Today has been mainly about stripping down my favourite mountain bike for repainting and renovation.
#BikeTooter

My 2004 Cannondale Jekyll, a lightweight black full suspension mountain bike with a 'lefty' single sided front fork, leaning against a fence in a green field.

The same bike, hanging from my workstand, with its rear wheel, rear triangle, and handlebars removed. The workstand stands in a concreted roadway, with the rusty railings of the old communal cattle management yard behind.

Transporting what's left of the bike down to the bike workshop in the village, on another bike -- the big black cargo bike -- of course. The cargo bike faces the camera, standing on the concrete roadway. The frame and front wheel of the mountain bike lie across its box.

The frame of the mountain bike leans against a bench standing on green grass, while the front fork leg, now detached, lies on the bed and the front wheel, also detached, leans against the other side.

#FuckEricAdams so so much. And fuck Hochul for not removing him. #BikeNYC
https://hellgateny…

After two last-minute appeals from safe street advocates, a state appellate court panel ruled on Monday afternoon that Mayor Eric Adams could rip out a three-block stretch of protected bike lane on Bedford Avenue from Willoughby Avenue to Flushing Avenue. Adams's Department of Transportation, which installed the bike lane barely nine months ago, began the demolition late Wednesday night.

"It's really sad to see [the removal of] a safety project that has been fought for by a whole host of com…

Crash data from the DOT showed that the entire protected lane on Bedford, which separated bicyclists from traffic with a barrier of parked cars and stone blocks, reduced overall injuries by 47 percent. But Mayor Adams's decision to kill the lane was ultimately about politics, not safety.

This past spring, members of the local Orthodox Jewish community, many of whom opposed the bike lane's installation in the first place, became incensed after several close calls between e-bike riders and chi…

One Orthodox man, who declined to give his name, told Hell Gate that he supported Adams's decision to remove the bike lane, which he thought was "poorly planned," but believed that Adams intervened mostly because of the general election in November.

"I don't think he would have stepped in if there wasn't an election," he said, adding that he liked Adams before the mayor decided to remove the bike lane. "He has a very hard job because it's New York City, but he's doing a decent job."

The m…

The actual removal of the bike lane was extremely loud and agonizingly slow. A massive truck obliterated less than a third of the bright green line on Bedford Avenue between Willoughby and Myrtle Avenues in about an hour of work, as a worker watched to make sure no debris got caught in the machine. Two bicyclists whisked by after 11 p.m. realizing—mid-ride—that the bike lane was being shorn off.

One of them turned to their friend, perplexed: "Wait, are they getting rid of this?"

I had an air filter attached to the rear of my #Kombi, and then I realized that I couldn't shift. One of the cords that I had used to secure the hepa filter was on the derailleur. It was an easy thing to fix, but it reminded me just how much I hate derailleurs (and any kind of external gears in general).

The rear of a blue Kombi mid-tail cargo bike. Along the rear right side boards at the bottom, a white air filter unit (Coway 200M) is bungeed to the side of the bike. The bottom half of a kid is also visible, sitting on the rear rack, her leg over the air filter, a hand on the ring to hold on.

Another shot of the rear of the Kombi. This time you can see more of the blue frame, and both sides of the back. The white air filter is still on the right side of the bike, and on the left side a black Orlieb bag is attached. A child's legs are slung over both things.

You can save time as well as lower the risk of theft by bringing your (cargo) bike into big box stores instead of locking up outside. However, expect to then lose all of that saved time when the guy at the checkout wants to excitedly tell you about his mountainbike build that used the same motor you have (in my case, a Bafang #BBS02).

Great bike ride today! We do a group ride the last Sunday of each month. Three different groups start from different places around the city and converge on a spot and we hang out for a bit then all ride back from whence we came...

Bikes with tiny wheels always look so weird to me. (I mean weird as a 6 foot tall adult. I rode 20" BMX bikes when I was a kid.)
Do these 20" bikes feel like riding a "normal" bike? Is it weird? Is it just me?

Technically I got this bike last month (August 31st) but I just hit 300 miles during a lunch time ride at work.
I'll add another 6 miles getting home just to make it legit 300 miles this month.
The best thing about this ebike is that I can ride and ride and ride and my 55 year old bum knee doesn't make me pay for it later.

Probably not news to urban cyclists but parking lots are a game changer! Places I thought I could not bike to are accessible where parking lots are all connected, or right next to each other with a bit of grass between them.

One thing I wasn't ready for on the bike commute was the bugs. Riding next to the river in summer is wonderful, but now when I head home the bugs are out, and they are tiny little bastards that fly into my face and my arms and get stuck on me. I do not love it. Hoping this works.

If you lock up your bike indoors (garage or home) what do you lock it up to?
I think a friend of mine locks his up to four other bikes but let's pretend that's not an option for everyone. 😅
What large, heavy, or structural thing do you lock your bike to in your garage or home?

I hit 1,000 miles today, which was my goal for 2025. Some of it was on a bike/trainer in my basement during winter, and this month was mostly on a (borrowed) ebike, and the rest was all on my old Trek 7200.
At some point I need to return the ebike and I'm hoping I can get my own before 2026 so I can make commuting to work by bike a normal thing.

Went to the bike shop last night (the family owned shop where I know the guy) and he showed me a flyer I made like 35 years ago and said it's been on the wall there for decades!

After 15 minutes of messing around with maps I've gone from "It's impossible to get there by bike!" to "Hmm, if I avoid the super-busy roads, cut through these parking lots, take a two mile detour... I think I can get there!"

First (real) ride on the new bike. So chuffed! Also, found a dollar on the way home so yeah, biking really pays off!

Riverwest 24 is next weekend. I thought about tossing my bike in the car and driving down to do some laps but then realized it's like 5 miles from my house so I'll just bike down there and do laps, hang out, etc.

I love finding weird stuff while out cycling… this pry bar isn’t as good as the bag of cash I found once but it’s a close second!

The view on the way to work along the Oak Leaf Trail is lovely at some spots...
(Though stopping for the photo I got attacked by bugs, which is not great.)

Whooo! I should hit 300 miles on the new bike within 30 days of owning it.

I went for a short ride today, and every now and then I would hear this weird “cling clang” sound, but I couldn’t figure out what the hell it was. I even stopped twice to investigate. It wasn’t constant though, just intermittent. Urgh!
Got home, took a photo, and then figured it out. Sigh…
