NelsonAnyone going to the <a href="https://jawns.club/tags/Philly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Philly</a> <a href="https://jawns.club/tags/Bike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bike</a> Expo? I'm planning on attending today and tomorrow, although I haven't actually left my house yet.<a href="https://phillybikeexpo.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://phillybikeexpo.com/</a>I've found it very helpful in the past. Last time we attended, we discovered helmets with microphones and speakers that network together with Bluetooth, to make it easier to carry on conversations without biking side-by-side. Also fashionable reflective clothing.<a href="https://jawns.club/tags/Philadelphia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Philadelphia</a> <a href="https://jawns.club/tags/bicycles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bicycles</a>

It's land policy reform that is the solution we need, in addition to banning cars.We must bring homes and destinations closer.

Atlanta Bike ShedAt long last we can finally order from New Albion and Soma again and just got in this beautiful Privateer! It would make a great single speed or fixie! Currently unpriced while we decide how to build it out, or DM to make an offer on the frame!

Sam WhitedIf you know anyone looking for a rather unique bicycle mechanic job in the Atlanta area, one of my favorite places in the world, Sopo Bicycle Co-op, is hiring a part-time shop coordinator! We've been struggling to stay open consistently for a while, and we're hoping having someone there on set nights will let us sell more bikes, and recruit more volunteers!<a href="https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=1dbebb939527f941" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=1dbebb939527f941</a><a href="https://social.coop/tags/Atlanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Atlanta</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Bicycles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bicycles</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Sopo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sopo</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Cooperatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cooperatives</a>

JesseI'm reminded of that scene in Die Hard 3 when they have to get from 72nd St to Wall St in 30mins ("a 100 blocks in 30mins in New York traffic...") and they drive through central park, almost killing people to only go 13 blocks (< 1km) and then get stuck in traffic anyway.You can do the entire trip from 72nd St to Wall St on a bicycle in 29mins at a casual 20km/h on the beautiful Empire State Trail. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/bicycles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bicycles</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/DieHard3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DieHard3</a>

French manufacturer Pi-Pop breaks from traditional electric bike design by using a power source you never need to recharge."The eponymous Pi-Pop electric bicycle, now in the third generation, gets riding power assistance from a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/supercapacitor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#supercapacitor</a> that charges while you ride. Like most electric cars, e-bikes with geared or direct drive hubs can regain energy on the go from regeneration while braking. An electric motor reverses energy flow during regeneration, directing the flow back into a battery."With Pi-Pop e-bikes, which do not have batteries, regeneration is the only way the onboard supercapacitor gains energy. According to the company, a rider pedaling a Pi-Pop e-bike on flat ground regenerates moderate energy by using a small portion of the rider’s pedaling power to recharge the supercapacitor. Riding the bike downhill when the rider doesn’t need to pedal as hard to maintain speed regenerates more energy than flat ground travel. Applying the Pi-Pop’s brakes restores the greatest energy to the supercapacitor."Supercapacitors have several advantages over batteries, primarily charging and discharging speeds and life span. Supercapacitors can store and release energy ten times faster than batteries. Rechargeable batteries have an expected cycle life of 500 to 10,000 charges, but a supercapacitor can be recharged millions of times. Batteries can deliver power over a more extended period between recharging. Still, the superior speed with which a supercapacitor recharges through regeneration can eliminate the need to plug into a power supply. Reliability of the Pi-Pop"With the Pi-Pop’s supercapacitor energy regeneration system, there’s no question of range per charge because the e-bike recharges when you’re pedaling or braking. You’ll only use more energy than you regenerate when pedaling uphill."The Pi-Pop conforms to the European standard for Level I e-bikes, which means the maximum speed is limited to 25 KMPH (15.5 MPH) with power-assisted pedaling only. The Pi-Pop has no twist or thumb throttle, so you’ll need to pedal for power assistance. The bike’s Aikema electric motor and regenerator are rated at 250 watts and 45 Newton meters of torque. That may not seem like much power, but it’s appropriate given the bike’s roughly 48-pound weight and low-by-U.S.-standards top speed."You can shift through seven gears with a Shimano RevoShift shifter and a Shimano Tourney derailleur, all brand-name parts. The adjustable Zoom front fork has up to 45mm travel, which is certainly enough for a bike that won’t be used as an electric mountain bike and rock jumper. The Tektro mechanical disc brakes with 180mm disc rotors are more than adequate."The Pi-Pop bike is available in one size with a step-through aluminum frame in white with green accents. There are no other frame sizes, styles, or color choices. Fenders, mudflaps, a kickstand, a headlamp, and a rear rack are all standard."If an e-bike that never needs recharging is appealing, you can only buy the Pi-Pop at the company factory on the banks of the Loire River in Olivet, France. The price is 2,450 euros or about $2,600 U.S."<a href="https://www.themanual.com/outdoors/pi-pop-e-bike-no-battery/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.themanual.com/outdoors/pi-pop-e-bike-no-battery/</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Bicycles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bicycles</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BikePower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikePower</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoLithiumMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoLithiumMining</a> No <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LithiumBatteries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LithiumBatteries</a>

Sam Whited"All Bodies on Bikes" is always a great podcast, but in the latest episode the host describes a racer on her period during a race free bleeding down her leg while she wins her race and I can't think of anything more metal unless it were literally possible to punch the patriarchy in the face somehow.

Sam Whited3/2 (oops):Or, an idea someone else just gave me: are there other people who would like to do hobbyist frame design but can't afford BikeCAD? Maybe we could start a co-op that does an old-school computer time share or something and we buy a copy of BikeCAD that we can all take turns using? Although I wonder if this is legal or if the BikeCAD guy wouldn't like it? I have no idea if it's sold "per-seat" or if that means "per-person" or "per-computer".<a href="https://social.coop/tags/Bicycles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bicycles</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/FrameBuilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FrameBuilding</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cycling</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/BikeCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeCAD</a>

Sam WhitedI wonder if people would purchase bike designs that don't include the actual frame?Ie. in exchange for a donation you get a design consultation, fitment, schematics, and mitering templates. Even a printed blueprint if you want. If you want an actual frame you'd have everything you need to take to a machine shop (or I could pre-sell a huge discount on the frame if I ever raise the money for the facilities I'd need later, though that seems less likely).2/2<a href="https://social.coop/tags/Bicycles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bicycles</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/FrameBuilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FrameBuilding</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cycling</a>

Sam WhitedThe idea of an Open Source bicycle design was mentioned and it occurred to me that I need to look at alternative ways to raise the money for a BikeCAD license, otherwise I will have forgotten all my frame building knowledge before I can afford it.The author donated a $300 coupon leaving me with $450 to raise.1/2<a href="https://social.coop/tags/Bicycles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bicycles</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/FrameBuilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FrameBuilding</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cycling</a>
