Luke<p>Had to ride to work on my research day for a F2F-only planning meeting (another one per day next week too). The meeting was OK and my ride was fast and mostly dry. Another 73km in the legs and my knee hurts less than on Wednesday 😊 <a href="https://c.im/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cycling</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/commute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>commute</span></a></p>

Kirsty Darbyshire<p>Can you draw a bicycle from memory? I suspect most people who ride one regularly and have an idea how the parts work together can make a good stab at it but these 3D renders of people’s sketches are wonkily fabulous. </p><p><a href="https://www.booooooom.com/2016/05/09/bicycles-built-based-on-peoples-attempts-to-draw-them-from-memory/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">booooooom.com/2016/05/09/bicyc</span><span class="invisible">les-built-based-on-peoples-attempts-to-draw-them-from-memory/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.lol/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a></p>

Tom Andraszek<p>Almost 6 minutes to cross one intersection, near a school. I told my local representatives about this. They don't give a fuck. They drive cars. Almost everybody here drives cars and will drive cars, because the other options suck. It starts with land zoning, not building footpaths, car parking minimums, and ends with traffic light programming and a motorway through koala habitat.</p><p><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=COdYMxKNQGs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">m.youtube.com/watch?v=COdYMxKN</span><span class="invisible">QGs</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ActiveTransport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActiveTransport</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PublicTranaport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicTranaport</span></a> <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/GoldCoast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoldCoast</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Queensland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Queensland</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FuckCars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckCars</span></a></p>

SnoopJ<p>I'm happy to report that cork and Titebond II wood glue seem to work perfectly well together</p><p>this geometry is not amenable to clamping, though, nothing really for it except to glue it and then apply pressure by-hand for 30 minutes or so. the glue seems to cure well enough by then to be left alone</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/FediBikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FediBikes</span></a></p>

AI6YR Ben<p>Random bike observation:</p><p>Shortcut to determining a bicycle's quality (if it has shifters) is just to look at the class of shifter/dereilleur group.</p><p>"No name" and/or "named after car brand" : Very low quality, stay away! (ex: Anything Huffy. No-name random Amazon/Walmart brand.)</p><p>Low end: Not a great bike, but rideable. Stuff will break, cheap components, but cheap to replace. (Shimano Tourney/Altus/Acera/Alivio)</p><p>Mid-range: Improvement, probably a decent bike.(Shimano Tiagra, Shimano 105, Shimano 600, Deore)</p><p>High end: Oooh, really good bike. Even if old! Especially if old! Fixable! Worth it especially if &lt;$150 (Dura Ace/Ultegra/Deore XT/XTR)</p><p>(missing a few groupsets in there, plus Suntour equivalents... still learning). <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/bicycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bicycling</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a></p>
