Frank Bennett<p>With summer coming soon, I've done an inventory of the kit that's worked for cool-weather solo camping here in Japan so's I don't forget. For funzies and in case it might be useful to someone, here's the checklist.<br><a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/bikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bikeTooter</span></a></p>

AI6YR Ben<p>Okay, friend has obtained a beater bicycle... now to help him fix it up and see how long it lasts and if it will get stolen locked outside at his apartment complex. (beater but good frame/components... the best kind of beater, no market or resale value but great transportation capability). <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a></p>
cheska<p>thinking about this post and about how this could be me because my hearing is sometimes not great and I have a terrible habit of nodding and smiling instead of asking people to repeat themselves 🙃</p><p><a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a></p>
concretedog<p>Ran all my errands and work visits today on the latest scrapheap bike project! I bought this Dahon espresso a while back and a week ago swapped out the tyres, gave it a new chain and front mech and a bit more servicing. Rides well now. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/biketooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biketooter</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cycloshite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cycloshite</span></a></p>
Clarissa<p>Here’s a dead end with a treasure!! Not entirely unexpected cuz there was an info board about it. 😄<br>And my favourite type of track - small, winding, foresty. 💚 <br><a href="https://mefi.social/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cycling</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/CyclingLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CyclingLife</span></a></p>
Jer 🚵🏼<p>“It combines the best elements of biking in Iowa and you can hardly beat that.”</p><p>“I would guess that 60-80% of these people have never ridden more than 20 miles at one time. And they think somehow by magic their legs are going to get strong and they're going to ride 430 without hurting.”<br>"They hurt, but they make it.”</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/AHrNBdd_pZ0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/AHrNBdd_pZ0</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/bike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bike</span></a></p>
Clarissa<p>My bike and I are exploring the “commune” next to ours, hoping to reach 90% (of all roads, tracks and paths). <br>Just had to explain to a man what I was doing after he warned me this track wasn’t going anywhere. He was duly impressed. 😄 </p><p>Doing the final bits of an area can be frustrating (often non-existent, overgrown, muddy tracks etc), but it can also be fun. I’m always hoping for a treasure in a dead end. 😄 Sometimes there is, like a field with cute cows, horses or sheep. </p><p>Residential cul-de-sacs are also interesting cuz people feel more “private” there so you can see all the shit they leave outside their houses. OR the obscenely huge houses they built. </p><p>All that to say, cycling is great!!! 😆 And give Wandrer.earth a try if you wanna discover hidden gems (in a systematic fashion). <br><a href="https://mefi.social/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cycling</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/CyclingLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CyclingLife</span></a></p>

kimu<p>A reminder that <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/30DaysOfBiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>30DaysOfBiking</span></a> starts in 2 days, on April 1st! I know this kind of thing isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. For me, participating in this for the first time in 2023 made a huge difference in how I think about biking. My 2023 goals were to bike in rain &amp; to participate in a group ride. I discovered that I don’t melt in rain &amp; built wonderful connections to the local bike communities. Still thinking about goals for this year. <a href="https://30daysofbiking.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">30daysofbiking.com</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a></p>

AI6YR Ben<p>Fine, purchased a spoke wrench from the LBS. Hopefully don't need a truing stand to fix the slight wobble in a wheel I have. Did you know there are eight million size of spoke wrench? I bought a circular one with every size, because I had no idea which one I needed. (minor... but it's bugging me). <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/spokes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spokes</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/bikerepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bikerepair</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/bicycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bicycling</span></a></p>

Jer 🚵🏼<p>Testing and learning with scraps. There's a lot to juggle, first attempt at this I had one piece facing the wrong way so I ripped out the seam and started over. Next test a little better, but liner seam location is wrong, thus the extra visible seam. Next up I ironed things, which really helped, and used thicker liner material. Going to dig up an old zipper for more practice. </p><p> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DIY</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/frameBag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>frameBag</span></a></p>

I keep hearing"it's too hard" . For example someone said that 200 lbs of cargo was too much, yet an adult can weigh nearly that much, i.e. on a tandem. So I know that yes it's harder, but is it really that much harder? Also, it would give us better numbers to understand how many watts an ebike needs to offset the additional drag. <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/BikeNite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeNite</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a></p>
