@ascentale Thank you and a question: When riding an ebike do you stick to existing cycling infrastructure or do you feel more able/braver to ride regular roads?
I ask this since I see more people of all segments riding ebikes and many just ride them as electric motorcycles and take the roads.
And this week's last question, which might become a weekly tradition:
Q8. Do you have a photo to share from a ride or of something cycle-related from the past week? It doesn't have to be anything special. If you'd like to, share one and tell us about it!

@agnes asks:
Q7. I got a professional bike fit the other day, but my body apparently isn’t adjusting, because I’ve developed a bump (not painful, but uncomfortable) on top of the pubis bone/outer edge of the labia majora. I have a triathlon tomorrow so I’ll be riding with my padded shorts and chamois cream, but does anyone have advice, for before/during/after? Red flags, recovery tips… anything is helpful, thank you!

@NilaJones asks:
Q4. What do folks recommend for 20" x 2.25 (or thereabouts) tires, that will take high PSI? That are also easy to install/remove?
Hookworms? Marathons?

@ascentale@sfba.social #BikeNite Question: What do folks recommend for 20" x 2.25 (or thereabouts) tires, that will take high PSI? I've been running hookworms forever, and they are awesome. But they are heckin' hard to get on and off! I bought a schwalbe marathon plus when folks here were talking about how great they are. I was askeered to try putting it on, because people talked about how difficult it was, how you need chalk, etc I couldn't believe how easy it was to install, compared to the hookworms 😂 The schwalbe only take up to 70 PSI though This whole adventure got me thinking: Maybe I can find another super sturdy, low tread tire, that doesn't kill my hands to put on, and does take a high PSI Do you folks have any recommendations?
Inspired by a question from @DurableAce a while back:
Q3. Did you read paper cycling magazines or catalogs? What did you read and enjoy? (Or do you still now?)

Next question is from @MartyCormack:
Q2. For those who wear cycling jerseys regularly, do you have any with a special pattern, logo, picture or saying that draws attention from other cyclists or people you encounter while wearing? Any positive reactions? Any negative ones? Please tell us why.
