@bikenite A8. I rode the bike around and all, but was really happy to see this hummingbird this week.

A hummingbird is hovering near vibrant purple flowers, surrounded by lush green leaves.

A8. I did a full drivetrain swap on the commuter, from a SRAM Apex 1 to Deore 1x11. Including hubs and brake levers, it's now all Deore except the purple disc calipers.

Maiden ride is tomorrow -- fingers crossed!

@ascentale @bikenite A8. We had a sunny day last week and I had to go out to enjoy the arrival of spring.
I share a picture of a town I visited last week (Limburg an der Lahn). Enjoy the half-timbered houses! The old town is full of narrow medieval streets lined with half-timbered houses that are hundreds of years old.

There are many half-timbered houses in an old market square. The sky is blue.

@ascentale @bikenite If you ever plan a bike tour in Germany. I can recommend this place: A wonderful (and easy) ride right near a small river. In summer you can even jump into the water where you like. From Gießen over Weilburg and Limburg you reach the river Rhine near Koblenz. All worth seeing. Lots of nice old towns, old locks and mostly in shade aeay from cars.
Just ask, if you want some more details.

Bicycling Monterey 💚🌎🌍🌏

@ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A8
We’ve been doing more rural rides than biking into town lately. But current weather’s heat wave + steep hills of our rural routes led us to opt for biking into town yesterday instead, so we could cool off on the coastal trail. We’ll be biking to this spot (Window on the Bay Park in city of Monterey) on March 28 for next local No Kings Day.

@ascentale @bikenite Riding around Half Moon Bay California, checked out the action in Pillar Point Harbor where apparently you can get live, fresh, gluten free, organic, free range crabs right off the boat. Beautiful day on the coastside today. #bikeNite #BikeNiteA8

At a dock for commercial fishing boats, with several of them lined up in the background, a whiteboard sign at the entrance to the dock says:
F/V Rosella
Fresh live, gluten free, organic, free range Crab. [slip] G-3.

Sunny day with a cloudless blue sky. — At a dock for commercial fishing boats, with several of them lined up in the background, a whiteboard sign at the entrance to the dock says: F/V Rosella Fresh live, gluten free, organic, free range Crab. [slip] G-3. Sunny day with a cloudless blue sky.

@ascentale @bikenite A8 #BikeNite a cargo bike for a surfboard.

An ordinary bike, but with two big curved hooks attached at the seatpost, and a big plastic basket on the back. It is leaning on a railing.

I was sure you had a Thighmaster attached to your bike!

The Thighmaster is a figure-8-shaped device, hinged in the middle with a red plastic joint, and the two lobes of the 8 covered in blue plastic foam. — Photo of a box with lettering "The Original Thighmaster" and photos on the box of a woman demonstrating the Thighmaster, with an actual Thighmaster and an instruction booklet in front of the box.

@ascentale @bikenite A8. Manhattan!
Lots of cycling here, mostly for delivery by e-bike, but lots of Citi bike riders too. I did see a number of non e-bikes riding in Central Park.

Tons of bike lanes here, done the proper way: against the curb with parking between the bike lane and traffic lane. And lots of them even have some buffer space like this for a bit of passenger-side door safety.

Manhattan side street with green painted bike lane and parked cars. A couple of bikes are locked up on the left side.

@markc568 @ascentale @bikenite We've just recently had this done near Tokyo Dome, without the buffer space. I have to say I'm not a fan as I'm constantly in fear someone will just pop open a door and step into the path without a second thought. (Or come off the curb and cross to the car door. Either way.)

@ascentale @bikenite This week we were on the US Canada border along the #gunflinttrail. Heading out for a hike and we spotted two wolves as they came out of the woods and crossed a trail. Never saw them before in the wild. One of the coolest moments ever. #bikenite A8
