Pete@ascentale @DurableAce @bikenite A1 #BikeNite posting from Liverpool having scratched from a bikepacking race so getting to see family over Easter instead.
Canine rather than cycling-related for me!
Phil (ascentale)@DeltaWye @bikenite A7. Someone else wrote about storage, I've definitely seen a lot of rust on bikes stored outside even after a month or two.
Dry rot on tires is bad, there's a certain vintage of tires that dry rot faster than others. Yeah, so probably worth checking the tires, even if stored inside.
Trouble@ascentale @bikenite this picture is a lie, since the bike has an additional ~10k miles on it. #BikeNite
Sam Whited@rowmyboat @ai6yr @ascentale @bikenite I've never had one come loose or break, but I carry a few if I'm running tubeless so that if I did break one I wouldn't have to throw my spare tube (which I also carry) in. For bikes already running tubes I just use the spare tube.
rowmyboat@meganL @ascentale @Amgine @bikenite A6: yeah, it's absolutely training data for whatever thing the masters of the universe want to disrupt us with. Other common captchas are identifying crosswalks, motorcycles, bridges & stairs; you can see what that all adds up to. #BikeNite
@sam @ai6yr @ascentale @bikenite that's got a valve core tool on it, which reminds me -- I keep a valve core tool & a couple spare valve cores in my tool pouch. #BikeNite
AI6YR Ben@annehargreaves @AE4WX @ascentale @DeltaWye @bikenite That's what happens when you stop bicycling for 20+ years and decided to start bicycling again, lol (on your original bicycle you bought in high school). And where you don't know what you are doing. (thankfully, #BikeNite exists... which really has brought me up on the learning curve).
Asphalt and Earth@ascentale @bikenite cycling up #mowcop as part of the Cheshire Cat Sportive last weekend. That’s a tough hill!

@ascentale @DurableAce @bikenite A1 - posting from Cheshire this Easter weekend but will be up in the Lakes next weekend. My phone cycles though my photos so plenty taken on rides and a few with my bike in.
