It's been a while since I achieved a major milestone with #Zwift, so it feels pretty good to share that I just hit a 52 week streak!
I've been doom scrolling through my notifications for ages and can't find a reply from someone who had a cycle blog which involved them documenting their journey through Europe/France... if that was you, please let me know so I can read up on your experiences! I'm looking at cycling the length of France as part of the EuroVelo 1 route. #EuroVelo #Cycling #Cylce #Bikes #Camping

Mechanical parts break down eventually. @pete asks:
Q8. I think I jinxed things the other week with my 'do you repair?' question and somehow snapped a rear axle last weekend: What's the most recent component that you broke or wore out, and have you managed to get it fixed?

Hard to imagine the American mind comprehending this one.

How does one actually go about selling a bike these days? Websites/apps/services that WORKED to find a buyer? My craigslist ad is languishing. For context, I'm trying to sell this Ride1UP lightweight ebike in the western USA.

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?
There are certainly worse ways to travel into town!

I am intrigued by gearbox bikes. If I was a bike commuter I'd definitely go for one.
Gearboxes are suddenly all the rage in DH. So why haven’t they taken off for trail bikes?
