After five days of no cycling due to snow on cycling lanes and/or icy roads I finally got some satisfaction in Trieste/Trst area, complemented by a short dip in the sea which had the same temperature as the air today - 11 °C! Route Trieste/Trst - Monfalcone/Tržič - Marina Julia - Monfalcone. Sun!!

@ascentale @grammasaurus @frostpendeln @bikenite #bikenite #bikeTooter #frostpendeln A6 I am participating in #frostpendeln (or frost commuting) for the third time this year. The motto is:From 01. November 2025 to 28. February 2026 we collect kilometers and together create more attention for the fact that bicycles are also suitable as commuting vehicles in winter. Motivating, fun and a low key positive attitude. And you can get a sticker.

@ascentale @MartyCormack @bikenite #bikenite #biketooter A2 My first reaction is “not really, I just like riding” But I Might have to admit I’m pretty far gone. Most of my time and distance is my daily bike commute but I do occasional gravel and mtb races, charity events, recreational and training rides with friends and our local no drop group ride. I started playing bike polo this year. I’m a gearhead and like working on bikes. I love the adventures of bike commuting. In it up to my ears.

There isn't one cycling culture! I am deep in to bike touring and utility cycling. When I was working elsewhere I cycled every day to work, shop... Now with public transport it doesn't make much sense so I don't cycle that much, I don't get the people that have insane bikestreek just for the sake of it.

I don't care about pro cycling, it just doesn't reflect my needs - I just don't want or need super fast carbon bikes, I want reliable bike that I can have nice time on.

Most of my friends have similar view on the cycling, only some that wear the lycra everywhere. My friend that used to race and didn't get me at first tried my bike and flipped his view a bit, now he gets me and I was with him on few bikepacking trips already.

As for bike repair and tinkering - I do it only on my bikes. I like to explore the options what I can use, one of my bikes I used for trip through Europe has lots of replaced parts (there is few things that survived the trip).

@ascentale @bikenite Not counting e-assist (although refinements to e-assist design allowed), what cycling innovation has most affected you in the past 40 years (or less)? #BikeNite #BikeTooter #BikeNitePQ

Accessible cycle advocacy was a big chunk of my work founding and leading UC Access Now. I've spoken at CalBike Summit, Complete Streets Coalition, and on podcasts about accessibility and ableism within cycling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fV-3d-J7pw&t=99s%E2%80%A6 #BikeNite #Ableism #Accessibility #BikeTooter @bikenite A 2.

I had this issue long time ago when bit of it broke and I didn't noticed (or didn't care because it wasn't that important), wondered for a while and then solved it by tying the straps with string where the not important strap broke.

Other than that no, but as others suggested already - good fitting helmet can solve this. Usually you don't tighten the straps completely, gap for 2 fingers beneath your chin and the strap (at least I was told).

For me, being out in freezing temperatures below -10°C is a way of training the body to keep its comfort zone broad enough. Having expanded the comfort zone towards lower temperatures gives me -- as the word implies -- comfort over a broader range of days throughout the year. As soon as I stop doing this, the comfort zone shrinks and, as a result, the amount of days in a year within my comfort zone shrinks as well. I love winter wonder days like today in Stockholm.

Well, this is interesting! The Gouach Infinite Battery, a repairable battery pack system for ebikes that can be retrofitted to many brands of #ebikes. #BikeTooter
