Today I was digging through crates at Bike Kitchen, looking for a decent kickstand. And it raised a couple questions for me:

* #LBS which build up frames are really cool, recycle hardware, and teach people to DIY. Do you know of one local to you?
* I am still looking for the perfect two-leg kickstand. Any recommendations?

Bike Kitchen is on #UBC campus: https://www.thebikekitchen.ca/

Red VW Beetle hung from cliff by #UBC Engineer Pranksters

“Parks officials in British Columbia said a hollowed-out Volkswagen Beetle suspended from a rock face in an apparent prank will be removed this week.

The vehicle, painted red with a Canadian flag on the hood and the letter E on the roof, was spotted on a #Squamish rock face known to climbers as The Papoose in late March.”
