Kampf um die Fahrbahn

Hupen, drängeln, fluchen: Hamburgs Straßen gelten als gefährliches Pflaster. Besonders für die schwächeren Verkehrsteilnehmer.

Oh hey, Lupine has a new version of the Rotlicht rear bike light. Looks like the illumination is a tad better around the edges, and this version charges over USB-C instead of MicroUSB. Nice!

And for a makeshift but higher power alternative, Armytek just released the Elf C2 Max WR, which has white and red output, accepts 21700 and 18650 cells, and can also run from an external battery via USB-C. I like this one a bunch.

@ascentale @TicklishHoneyBee @bikenite A4: I've got a Quad Lock OFM Pro on the handlebars. I also have a Deuter top tube bag, where I store my keys, masks, snacks and (when needed) a compact power bank. The picture shows my commuter, but my road bike has the exact same setup. #BikeNite #BikeTooter #MastoBikes
@ascentale @bikenite A8: Did a "mini" Lake Washington Loop last Sunday to prepare for Flying Wheels tomorrow. Am I ready? I'll see... #BikeNite #MastoBikes #BikeTooter #SEABikes

And our last question this week:

Q8. It's the last #BikeNite of May. What did you see this week? Reply with a photo if you'd like. Cycling related or not is fine. Tell us about it!

@LovesTha asks:

I recently rebuilt a wheel with all new spokes (and nipples) and I had a successful 12k ride with some child towing involved last weekend. Today 10k into a ride the tyre had started rubbing. Checking the wheel, 3~4 spokes on the brake side (rear wheel) were completely loose. So much thread showing on one I was surprised the nipple was still attached.

Q7. What did I do wrong when building the wheel?

@marywordymary asks:

Q5. Does anyone have experience with a lock with an alarm? I worry about my bike being stolen but have no idea if this would be a deterrent or if I could handle the volume :)

And a nicely sort of related question from @TicklishHoneyBee:

I'm curious about peoples' cockpit setups: specifically bags, bottles, and tech.

Q4. Do you have bottle or snack bags on your handlebars or stem? A phone holder? Bike computer? What do you have, where did you get it, and what would you like to have or change? (Pictures welcome)

@gcvsa asks:

Q3. What is your favorite style of handlebar, and why? Why do most handlebars sweep backward, when that direction is counter to the natural position of the human wrist, when your arms are held in front of you? Have you ever tried handlebars mounted so that they sweep forward?
