@daihard asks:
Q6. What type of rear light will work with a rack like this? I've tried a light with a flex rubber mount that went around the horizontal bar on the end, but the light kept moving downwards because of its weight. I want something that stays in place. Any help would be appreciated!

Hard to imagine the American mind comprehending this one.
@ai6yr It’s a shame our town Thousand Oaks is literally at the doorstep to the Santa Monica MTNS with thousands of bikers using the surrounding roads and trail systems annually. One would think it could almost be a destination and in being so, would definitely benefit in a much more bike friendly city. Sabotage!! #biketooter

hey #cycling fedi, is there a free software / less likely to be enshittified alternative to Komoot now it's subscription based for route planning & exporting those routes as GPX that can be used on Wahoo/Garmin devices?
I have a few friends use it because I've mentioned that it plays nicely in the #openstreetmap universe and now that there's a subscription, I'd like to be able to recommend something a little more free software friendly!

I was a little taken aback today when I finally got to take apart and poke around at the components of the bike I bought. I was convinced that it had a freehub and cassette, but instead it’s got a freewheel. I intend to change it from 6 to 7-speed, and had thought that would be as easy as getting a new cassette, but now I need to:
• buy a 7-speed freewheel, or
• buy a new/used wheel with a freehub and 126mm rear spacing, or
• learn to rebuild one of the wheels I have to make it work
That first option seems REALLY convenient. Is there any reason not to stick with a freewheel? I’m aware that there can be uneven wear on the axle, but is there anything beyond that?

English edition of the bestseller “Rowerem i pieszo przez Czarny Ląd”.
A solitary traveller moves tirelessly forward. His path leads him through breathtaking landscapes, past picturesque waterfalls, smoking volvanoes, countless herds of wild animals reigning over boundless spaces, through desert sand, the barren savannah and overgrown forest trails.

There are certainly worse ways to travel into town!

Today was my first time riding my bike all the way both to and from work! It is so nice to be able to just take a 5 minute break at the beach in the middle of my morning commute
