I am considering building up a bicycle from a frame (just for the heck of it). MTB. Re: Wheels: What should consider when buying/scavenging/building a wheel for a mountain bike? (ideally I will use salvage level stuff which I can fix... more for the experience. i.e. if I see a 26 inch wheel with no spokes and hub, should I try to build a wheel, etc.?)<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BikeNiteQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeNiteQ</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BikeNite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeNite</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cycling</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/MastoBikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MastoBikes</a> cc <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bikenite" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bikenite</a>

kimuWasn’t sure if I could manage day 3 of <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/30DaysOfBiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#30DaysOfBiking</a> due to thunderstorms, but seized the moment when it stopped raining for a fast ride during lunchtime. Quickly biked to a great bakery downtown, a place we’d never visited before we started biking because driving downtown is awful & it’s a bit too far for a casual walk. Traffic was really light today bc most schools are closed due to weather & flash flood warnings. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a>

Adrianna TanI just posted this at work and it seems like not everyone knows this. You can take the Amtrak Coast Starlight from Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, Oakland, San Jose or LA in the other direction, to the Monterey Bay aquarium. On Amtrak.com, simply put Monterey Bay Aquarium as your destination and when you arrive in Salinas station at 12:20pm (daily), there will be a bus that waits for you and picks you up to send you to the doors of the Aquarium by 1:30pm (usually takes just 20min)For a true car-free experience, book a hotel room in New Monterey near the Aquarium, like the Clement Intercontinental, Monterey Plaza, or Wave Street Inn or anything on that side of the tunnel (including Pacific Grove). You can walk / bike the coastal trail. Rent a bike from Work Horse bicycles downtown. If you bring your own bike on the train (check in without boxing!) you can put it on MST city bus no 20, the bus station is 5 min ride away. Wait at and have a taco at Tacos Don Beto next door. There is a small outdoor area for Covid cautious folks. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Transit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Transit</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Trains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trains</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Amtrak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amtrak</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Monterey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Monterey</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a>

short haul longspurHot disaster prep tip. Ride a bike? Got small lights that can be removed and charged via USB? They're handy when the power goes out. A red one is nice if you're comfortable with mostly sitting in the dark because it won't torch your night vision. A white one can also be useful. Bike lights often have good battery life relative to other things like aging cell phones. <a href="https://hoosier.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a> <a href="https://hoosier.social/tags/DisasterPreparedness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DisasterPreparedness</a>
