I'm kinda paranoid when/where I leave my #bike. I hardly ever leave my bike since I don't go out 🚴♀️ that much, unlike some who regularly #BikeToWork or to school.
Just really upsetting that the police mentioned in the article didn't care much to help or were limited by the law to do anything even though they already knew who had the stolen #bicycle. ☹️
My bike was stolen in front of a supermarket in the city center, in a place with a lot of pedestrian traffic. When I went to report the incident, I was shocked by the superficiality with which the police treated my situation, in the series let it go, "it happens!"
While a friend of mine had his PC, tablet stolen and presented to the police with all the geolocation coordinates of his devices, they almost reported him for stalking.
I have very long legs and a short torso, so "normal" bicycle frames never fit me very well. I always end up with a lot of seatpost height and a short stem, even though I'm leaned forward comfortably and with plenty of power in my pedal stroke.

@ssamulczyk@cycling@rower We're still working on how to ride a #bicycle. He's really taken to his sister's old scooter though and I ride my bicycle to keep up with him. Only about 6km to work but I wouldn't have time and there's no covered parking when I get there.
When I'm riding my #ebike I hate the pressure I feel to accelerate to the speed limit when there are cars behind me. My bike can do 45mph but must we!? #20IsPlenty
After over two decades, Surly moved the Cross-Check frameset from their standard lineup of bikes to the ‘Legacy Lineup’ of their website. Surly confirmed that the bike is no longer in production and is unlikely to come back.
If you haven’t owned this gravel/cyclocross/touring/whatever bike yourself, you likely know someone who has. The Surly Cross-Check was the egalitarian choice in cycling, simultaneously someone’s utilitarian dream bike that was attainable and sold at a fair price.
The end of the Cross-Check marks the bike’s reign as the most bike that ever biked, the go-to way to make a pile of parts you hoarded in the corner of your garage into a functioning bicycle, and the defacto option that a bike nerd could happily ride and recommend to their non-bikey friends all the same.
Do you see a lot of cargo-bicycles (trikes, two-wheelers with baskets, bikes with trailers etc.) in your daily life? And what appears to be the most common usage; work-bikes, kid-transport, general use, shopping?
Mine: Rural Denmark (town with some surprisingly large companies). Cargo-trikes and bike-trailers are a very common daily sight. They appear to be used equally for kid-transport and general use. Two wheeled cargo-bikes are less common.
Kind of annoyed with White Industries at the moment. The original press-fit bearings in my Stanyan’s MI5 rear hub needed replacement a long while ago, so I had my local bike shop order them (which took forever to be shipped by Enduro) and swap them out. Unfortunately, the same amount of play persisted after the bearing swap despite said shop following White Industries’s directions to the T multiple times. My shop has called White Industries multiple times only to not be given any recourse.
I’ve been out that Stanyan for several weeks now and I don’t know if I should just get a different hub put in the wheel or something at this point. :blobfoxannoyed:
Also, I just discovered a broken spoken on my other bike's rear wheel that was just handbuilt at the shop a few months back (and also trued after a couple weeks of riding back then to be safe). :blobfoxgooglycry:
