#audax RRtY 7 of a possible 12 (it's not over til it's over). Instead of trying to go somewhere specific and back yesterday I rode a meandering route that joins up some of the best (& quietist) bits of NW Norfolk. For such a small area the variation in the terrain is surprising. And obvs there's a mandatory trip to the seaside (which won't be quiet in another month or so!) Need to re enable my Warmshowers account as open for guests. Happy to act as a tour guide to any #BikeTooter types who want to camp in the garden.

Thinking about getting around without a car? More importantly, do you vote for people who fund transit & biking in cities? What our streets prioritize is up to us, not car lobbyists. According to AAA annual cost to own and maintain a car is $11,577 (calculated before fuel prices started to skyrocket). #bikeTooter #transit #urbanism

Hey Fedi Friends! There is this gap between the lowest silver part and the top of the grayish part that shouldn't be there. I can see bearing balls in the lower part, and the top part is a bit conical. How do I close this gap? I tried mild force: loosening everything and tightening the bolt on top to pull everything down resulted in a snapped bolt. Hammering the loosened stem downwards did nothing. #AskFedi #cycling #bike #BikeTooter #maintenance

Interesting, someone custom built this thing with a belt drive. (fixie... those are pretty much impossible for me to ride on the hills here, lol) Appears to not have brakes, either. #BikeTooter

@plactagonic@f.cz asks:

I just “sent order” for custom made full frame bag. *

Q7. Has anyone had any experience with custom made bike bags? Are they what you wanted or you would buy something off the shelf?

It is more a friend of a friend who does sawing for fun and reclames material from all over the place and it is first time she will do something like this.

@Amgine@mamot.fr asks about rolling resistance:

Q6.

Any lay-person resources to learn more?
Is larger diameter generally better?
Why is the standard #bicycle #wheel 700c / 26” ?
W/gyroscopic forces, the turning CoE moves forward of the wheel centre, even > r (e.g. the demise of delta motor trike.) Is this greater w/larger diameter?
Is this a factor in drive wheel vs steering wheel? I.e. if they must be different, which should be larger?

@CathyTuttle@social.ridetrans.it @BicycleDutch@mastodon.social The flow is mesmerising. When I visited #Utrecht on a cycle tour, I got it all wrong. Being so used to car-centric places, too much caution, thinking and looking in my part caused problems for everyone else. Sorry to the good people of Utrecht from a well-intentioned visitor. #BikeTooter #Cycling #Netherlands

I've been to look at the road works on the A57 Manchester Road just west of Sheffield. There is a trench in the road and lots of fencing, but the route is open for pedestrians and cyclists. #Sheffield #Cycling #BikeTooter

Mark @BicycleDutch@mastodon.social has a new blog post up about rush hour in #Utrecht along with this delightful 5-minute video near the Centraal train station. As a person who often bikes in this scrum, I find it exhilarating, to be one with humanity, like murmuration of starlings, in a dance on our bikes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEpjPRs4Iio #bikeTooter #netherlands
