@ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite46_2026 #BikeNite A8. Did my commute the long way to and from work ... Still got lost so there's some work to do. There's a section that has protected bike trail I missed so I was in the middle of 35 mph traffic for a couple blocks so I could make a left turn. Not ideal considering it was also downpouring. The length felt fine and is preferred to the shorter more traffic heavy way. The ebike takes my 25lbs commute load and makes it feel like I have a tail wind.

#BikeNite46_2026 A8:
Last weekend, before the weather turned, I managed a couple adventure rides. The most scenic was the Red Cedar State Trail in Wisconsin.

@ascentale @bikenite A8: I've been reorganising my basement workshop/bike area and several hours later it's not actually bigger but I do have more flat surface and fewer things in the way which is big news for my ability to actually do anything in there xD

@ascentale @bikenite A8: our weekly #BikeBus was a little smaller due to chilly, damp conditions but the kids had fun. Overnight we got a dusting of snow!

@ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A8: decided to do some mending this week, a pair of deck boots I have were showing some cracking, that I feared might develop into a hole, and with wet weather on the way! Fortunately I have supplies to fix holes in rubber. I’m pretty pleased with this visible fix:

@ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A8 the latest piece of performance art along the Djerring Trail in Melbourne. Given that the council claims that the shared path surrounds are railway lands and not their problem, and that the Dept. of Transport is completely dysfunctional and incapable of responding to litter reports, here it shall remain, possibly for years

@ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A8. My latest bicycle restoration. 1980's Japanese SR (Sakae Ringo) Gran Course. Shimano 600 EX Arababesque groupset. What am I going to do with it? Dunno, lol. Someone sold it to me for way less than the cost of the Shimano 600's.
