Cainmark Does Not Comply 🚲Thank you very much for hosting, Phil! @ascentale !
I loved ##BikeSchool at the old site when it wasn't deplorable and thanks for picking it up after ...forgot who, wasn't able to keep it up.
Phil (ascentale)@grammasaurus @BarbChamberlain I hope you can tune in to this week's #BikeNite (we are carrying on the #BikeSchool tradition but in the Fediverse)
dr2chase@ascentale @bikenite I am posting, again, from outside Boston. This week I upsized the chainring (from 42 to 46 teeth) on my 20" rear wheel cargo bike to get a slightly more favorable gearing while still fitting the chainguard. Middle child *cracked the chain stay off the bottom bracket* on his (20-year-old) daily bike, so we swapped it for another bike and I will be harvesting parts from the sad frame (and we got a bunch of house stuff done). A1 #BikeSchool
Loved #BikeSchool at the destroyed place, and enjoy #BikeNite so much too as the closest to that community.
Being fascinated by things other people enjoy, but without feeling I need to feel the same way.
I don't care that much for #Ants. But @futurebird posts about them bring me joy, especially when she joined the #Monsterdon movie that had giant ants.
#Knitting is another one. @Archergal and @lizbon post things they're working on I enjoy without wanting to become a knitter myself.
A6. I've written about this before, but not sure if here or at the old Twitter #BikeSchool .
Bicycling at night, got a bit lost on a dead end street with no lights. Came across a giant skull. At night with no lights it was really spooky.
Finding out it was just a mini golf course decoration was a bit disappointing.
@meganL A1. I'm in Oakland CA where it's been a busy week! I migrated here after the xitter takeover and used a few of the tools to find people who I used to follow there on the Fediverse. Maybe through that or the #BikeTooter hashtag, I saw that @jeremy_ai (no longer active here sadly) was trying to recreate the #BikeSchool experience here.
I might not make it all #BikeNite - I will be seeing Coach Balto of #BikeBus fame shortly! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/a-talk-with-coach-balto-bike-buses-and-community-building-tickets-1005263158167
Making me aware that there are a lot of people with disabilities that bicycle. Which I should have known, as my spouse has an "invisible" disability. But your mentioning it often really opened my mind more.
Paraphrasing because I can't remember exact quote.

#BikeSchool before
#BikeNite but still applies.

BarbChamberlain@ascentale @meganL To me #CripCycling fits with the spirit of #CripTheVote but I say that as a non-crip wanting to support #OwnVoices. When I did a Twitter #BikeSchool related to this topic Gabrielle Peters chose #WheelsMoveMe to represent the overlap of cycling and assistive devices. http://bikestylespokane.com/2019/12/10/welcome-to-our-twitter-chat-bikeschool-moveequity-wheelsmoveme/

Welcome to #BikeNite (similar to #BikeSchool on the other site). Thank you for joining, and I hope we all enjoy chatting about cycle stuff! Feel free to answer whenever at your convenience. Anyone can join, now or later. Reply to what you like, and boost for visibility.
We'll start out with our introduction.
Q1. Where are you posting from today? How do you convince yourself to get out on your cycle if you're not totally excited about it? Or do you just ride another time?
