The taiko concert was phenomenal - I always forget how much you feel the drumming in your heart. Amazing amount of traffic in downtown Nashville when we got out. Why are cars even allowed here at night??? #BikeTooter

any of the #BikeTooter folks have advice on repairing cork handlebar grips?

I damaged one of my Miesha grips this evening, but I have the pieces to fill 90% of what is missing.

My thinking is that I will probably give wood clue a shot (it is wood, after all), and maybe use some shredded-up wine cork for in-fill. But I'd love to hear the tips of people who have done this repair before

Coverage by the CBC too. Four of our organizers delivered a letter to Stantec, reminding them of the engineering code of ethics. Stantec's engineers are making themselves responsible for the future traffic violence on Toronto's roads.

Bike people: what do you wear in 10-15C temp? And lower?

Context: I usually use a windbreaker and something underneath; or a jacket. But this leads to tons of sweat, which leads to wet and then cold clothes, and then a cold or worse. What allows sweat to evaporate while cycling?

When you donate to my "buy Melanie a new ebike so she can keep working as a bike courier when her current bike falls apart" fundraiser this is who you're being kind to and caring for:

Biking and selling my blood plasma are the main ways I make my money. I can get by with rent and food but saving for an ebike isn't going to happen on the same timeline as the gotrax one I have breaking. I'm trying to get the Radrunner 2 while it's 500 dollars off :)

Well, that's definitely a lesson to keep in mind if you are e-biking in remote areas....

"According to the group, a female biker faced major complications after her e-bike battery died in a remote area. This resulted in the woman being stranded in the desert for 30 hours, pushing her bike 20 miles before she ended up being located and rescued deep in the park."
