Timed it like a boss this morning and made it to the office just before the rain started. Another dry commute for the statistics

#BikeTooter #BikeCommute

Any #Biketooter out there who can tell me what the problem is that makes a Dutch bike with internal hub gears start to sound and feel like a derailleur bike that is stuck between gears, and what to do about it (besides book it in at the LBS)?
This toot was brought to you by a #BikeCommute that I aborted about 3 miles in.

Made it to my office before the front edge of a thunderstorm arrived! Raining now. The dots are lightning strikes, the blobby image is radar of the storm. Seems suspiciously lucky for a Monday. (This is from My Lightning Tracker - no affiliation but it’s handy enough that I paid for an ad-free version. Lightning is the one weather thing that worries me on my bike.) #BikeCommute

Cycled to work for first time in god knows how long - a year? Two? It was a summer but not this summer, anyway.
This hill is big and knackering, but the view is good at least.
Still I made it, on my hack bike for reasons best left to themselves. Now I just need the building to actually open so I can wash and log on!
Driver competence lead to a real commute that was actually nicer than my usual pedestrian fake commute as well :-)

I have just closed on 10 years of #BikeCommute. A few highlights
* £14.4k of savings (bus, train and tube fares avoided)
* c. 1,600 days commuting (I did a bit of multimodal back at the beginning of 2023)
* c. 3,000 commute legs
* I got wet c. 4% of the time (double that if you count the days when it drizzled)

Happy Jon's broken pelvis day everybody!
Celebrating eight consecutive years of an inattentive berk in a one-tonne metal overcoat not breaking my pelvis.

Commuter for my daughter I just finished. Bike was a curb find, fenders, racks, tires, lights all from stripped curb finds or trash piles. We live in a land of plenty, unequally distributed. Only things new are tubes and grips. Long may she roll! #BikeTooter #buynothing #bikecommute #zerowaste #BikesNotBombs

Evening #biketooter have you heard about Upride? https://upride.cc/

A global site for uploading videos of all the close passes we #cyclists #bikecommuters experience.

Might be useful to send to local governments when they get the inkling to paint a "bike lane" on a arterial road or remove a protected lane so less people can commute and more cars can idle.

If you are a cyclist who has to deal with drivers, get some cameras.
