Bikers and lock users. I'm trying to decide between these two locks. The only difference between them is one is an integrated chain lock and has a 10mm thick chain, and the other is a 12mm thick chain paired with a small u-lock.
Chain thickness aside, is there an advantage to the u-lock variant? #bikes #lockpicking #bikestodon

The weather this morning wasn’t great but wasn’t awful, so went out for a bike ride. Did a little impromptu greenway maintenance to clear medium branches knocked down by recent storms. Appreciate how with biking, you make your own breeze. #biking #bikestodon #ebikes #greenways

24 miles on the trail today. In my heart, I'm mocking Stanis. #Bikestodon #pnw
Did 23 miles on the trail today. I went old school with the music for this ride: Cake and REM. I have a tendency to underrate REM, which is nearly perfect cycling music. #Bikestodon
Hey #bikestodon …
If I get different bearings for my #bike, will it help compensate for me being a fat guy riding a cheap bike?
Gotta love the new danish #stamps 😀🚴♂️ #cycling #bikestodon #bikes #autokorrektur

Finally ordered an ebike to ferry around our preschooler! https://www.radpowerbikes.com/ Excited to minimize my car usage and get (some) exercise every day no matter what! #bikes #bikestodon #urbanism #seattle

A deep and well-researched read on the sustainability of bicycles in their many forms.
Tl;dr: While far and away more sustainable than cars, when compared to each other certain practices and manufacturing methods help improve sustainability. The big winners are repairability, interoperable parts, and locality.
Go support your local bike shop and repair everything!

But why would I want to touch grass, given the vastly superior options on the local bike trails. #Mosstodon #Bikestodon
Well this is rad as hell and now I want one! Would make a great #bikephl bike lane solution.

Sometimes you need a three hour bike ride and a long lunch with a friend to just feel better. #bikephl #Wissahickon #bikestodon

I‘ve just discovered from a Swiss colleague that in her city you aren‘t *allowed* to drive your children to school. From about 5, they have to walk or bike- and the vast majority do the journey alone #SchoolStreets #climateChange #Health #bikestodon

Ok #cycling fediverse (#veloverse? #bikestodon?) - what shoes do people wear for cycling if they don't have fancy cycle shoes?
I just wear my old sneakers, but are there things that would be better for my feet?

On this #throwbackthursday, I want to look back on the fantastic #eastcoastgreenway #biketour i took with my best friend in 2019.

Hey #bikePacking people, any good website suggestion for route websites in central Europe? Most of what I find seems US oriented. Also taking recommendations for routes around Vienna (or easily train accessible from there like Bratislava, Brno, etc).

Restoring my bike. It's not the one I rode from San Francisco to Los Angeles. That one was stolen in Portland. But, it is the one I road across England, France, and Belgium. Is #bikestodon a thing? Yes of course it is.
