@jwildeboer For cycling, there's #BikeTooter, #CarryShitOlympics, and my favourite: the weekly #BikeNite discussions!

@ascentale @bikenite Keeping with the “2026” part of the question, here’s my only project for this year so far. First time I’ve made bread in 3 decades and am really happy at how east it was and how well it turned out. I will have to organize more gym trips until I’m back on the bike. #bikenite

@grammasaurus @ascentale @bikenite That looks like a fun project for the really cold days. #bikenite

@ascentale @bikenite Haven’t got around to giving myself anything so far this year, but I have to replace my entire stock of parts and tools that was mistakenly trashed on my last trip of the year. So my “gift-to-self” list is long. We’ll see what happens, guess I should have been shopping the holiday sales? #bikenite

@ascentale @v_perjorative @bikenite I’m avoiding starting the maintenance on my bike I need to do, which is causing cognitive dissonance since I know it needs to be done. Grief might be a bit strong but that’s the only bike project I have in line. #bikenite

@ascentale @geonz @bikenite No longer actively employed is how I phrase my time these days, but for the most part I’m off my bike until spring rains get the sand off the roads unless we get a long warm spell that lets me out on gravel. #bikenite

@ascentale @bikenite Happy New Year #bikenite people. Now Monday PM here in south central Minnesota USA trying to catch up to Fediverse after the holidays. Reading so many posts from sick folks and just recovering from 4 weeks long cold I’m surprised any of us in the northern hemisphere are left standing. Only 8 weeks to spring.

@bikenite Drastically reducing fossil fuel use isn't as simple as just "ride a bike", but riding a cycle *can* be a very affordable, liberating, and fun way to independently get to places you want to go and to get to know places better. #BikeNite #BikeTooter #ClimateChange #NoWarForOil

RE: https://sfba.social/@ascentale/115827990121232194

I'm reading more posts about ending fossil fuels. Of course it needs to be done on the macro level, but if you're trying to get around in a way that makes you consume fewer fossil fuels, and you're considering a cycle or e-cycle as a means to do that, join us for our (a)synchronous chat #BikeNite on Friday. Ask questions from a somewhat diverse slice of cyclists (including disabled cyclists) here on Mastodon. #ClimateChange #NoWarForOil @bikenite
