Q1. Where are you posting from today? What's new with your bike/cycle?@ascentale @bikenite
A1.
Posting from Arden, Ontario, a tiny village on the Trans Canada Trail.
Nothing new bike-wise, it's very winter here right now so the trail is snowmobile territory and the bikes are in storage. Counting down to springtime, though!

@ascentale @bikenite A1. Posting from the western front of Portland OR, where we are besieged by the clear blue sky and bright sunshine of a false spring.
I tuned my own derailleur for the first time recently, and not only did I do it right, I managed to get the chain to stop slipping in high gear, so I can once again use all nine gears.
#bikeNite@yantor3d @ascentale @bikenite yay!
that's something I found gets easier with just doing it more often too, first couple of times I tried it I was all "...thumbs?" but now I'm like "oooooh okay, I think I'm getting this." Not up to _confident_ yet, but.

@moira @ascentale @bikenite Practice makes permanent...
I'm amused by my bike stand. It's a benchtop repair stand, but because I'm allergic to permanence, it's screwed to a scrap of plywood that I clamp to my workbench

#bikenite A1:
I'm posting from home in Rochester Minnesota.
There's nothing really new with my bikes, but I did ride today without needing studded tires for the first time in over three weeks due to a thaw overnight. -

Q1. Where are you posting from today? What's new with your bike/cycle?@ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A1. Ventura County, California. Too many bicycles here, need to sell a couple so I can fix a couple of new ones, lol. But, no one buying bicycles here.

Q1. Where are you posting from today? What's new with your bike/cycle?@ascentale @bikenite A1. Coming to you live from sunny Eugene, OR?? Yeah, weird weather. No new bikes unfortunately but I need to pull down my SOLO and give her the once over this weekend.

Q1. Where are you posting from today? What's new with your bike/cycle?@ascentale @bikenite A1. Northern Virginia as always, where biking is off the table while the streets are lined with what they are calling “snowcrete.” #BikeNite

@ascentale @bikenite A1: from the tarmac at DCA. I’ve been in DC all week for work so no biking for me even if I wanted to bike share since there’s frozen ice covering everything out here! #Bikenite
@genex @ascentale @bikenite That’s it! That’s the Snowcrete.
-
@ascentale @bikenite A1: North King County like usual. Nothing really new with my bike this week, but I did get tossed by that stupid F***ING curb gap that I always take perpendicular to avoid being tossed by it but NOT THIS TIME, APPARENTLY
(i am fine. i have a bandaid on my left pointer finger. It doesn't even hurt.)

Q1. Where are you posting from today? What's new with your bike/cycle?A1. Indoors in Tokyo. Snow in the forecast -- most likely just a smattering, but the worry is the possibility of streets freezing overnight.
Following a bit of tuning up and a short ride last weekend, both bikes are out of the Workshop in the Sky and back in the underground parking for the first time in a couple of months.

@ascentale @bikenite Just brought in some beer from the Workshop in the Sky so it can warm up in the refrigerator ...

@cainmark @ascentale @bikenite yeh
i was kinda finger-bleeding all the way home and it'll be bandaged for a bit, but otherwise I'm fine. ^_^

Q1. Where are you posting from today? What's new with your bike/cycle?@ascentale @bikenite A1 Posting from Waterloo, ON as usual. It was a balmy -3°C today, and going down to -22°C over the weekend 🥶. Just got a second studded tire for my rear wheel: it makes a big difference!

Q1. Where are you posting from today? What's new with your bike/cycle?@ascentale @bikenite a1. From my usual Seattle. Not much new except I washed my commuter/utility cycle, and put on newly waxed chains on both my road cycles. Been enjoying the unseasonably warm weather with some nice rides around town.

Q1. Where are you posting from today? What's new with your bike/cycle?@ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A1. Home in New England, again, waiting for more snow to arrive, followed by -30°F (-35°C) wind chills tomorrow night.
Absolutely nothing new with either of my bicycles, this week, although I'd like a new 21700 battery headlamp, so I can have my good flashlight back. No money for it, sadly. Also, I need a chain cleaner.

Q1. Where are you posting from today? What's new with your bike/cycle?@ascentale @bikenite A1. #BikeNite Posting from Ventura County, California again. Every once in a while I search around to see if I can find my Pivot Shuttle MTB ebike battery for sale (darfon brand). This week I found a new one on ebay, so figured I should not pass up the opportunity. It wasn't dirt cheap and the battery is rare enough that I kind of doubt anyone would bother to make a counterfeit one, but we'll see. It arrives next week. My current battery is around 5 years old and has lost 1/5th of its capacity. It is still usable, but having a spare should increase the overall life of the bike, without having to resort to making sketchy modifications.
