Sounds like the sort of thing that might come up in the #BikeNite questions every Friday evening (US Eastern Time). But I couldn't find anything quickly from yesterday.

I think they are run by @ascentale , who might be able to help.

Other hashtags that may be connected somehow are #BikeNiteQ and #BikeNitePQ

@ascentale @Amgine @bikenite #BikeNite A6. The one thing that makes me laugh/cry about CAPTCHAs is that they demonstrate the fact that "self-driving" system computers probably can't recognize bicycles, motorcycles, and school buses.

CAPTCHAs are obsolete technology that do nothing to enhance security and everything to annoy and deter customers. Anything you can do with a CAPTCHA is better done with other means, like 2FA software (I use 2FAS) and passkeys, or molasses traps for bots/crawlers.

@ascentale @ai6yr @bikenite #BikeNite A4. I will also note that because I am a Girl Scout, I always have my handbag with me, and there are numerous things in my handbag that can count as "tools" in the event of emergency.

The on-bike toolkit carries only the things that always go with the bicycle. The other things, like my first aid kit and my EDC gear, are needed in other places, as well, so I don't feel the need to also carry money, food, and first aid supplies in my bicycle toolbag.

@ascentale @ai6yr @bikenite #BikeNite A4. My on-bike toolit:

Wera stainless long handle hex wrenches (3, 4, 5, 6 mm)
Leatherman Wave (1st gen)
6" Crescent adjustable wrench
3 Kool-Stop tire levers
Rema Tip Top TT01 Tour patch kit
small zip ties for motor cable
nitrile gloves
USB-A to Lightning cable to charge my iPhone from the ebike
microfiber washcloth
Energizer L91 lithium AA for tail light
US quarter dollar coin for Aldi shopping carts

Need: chain tool, CO2 inflator/carts, mini pump

@ascentale @DurableAce @bikenite A1. Posting from my kitchen table in New England, the day after. I forgot about #BikeNite until so late that I didn't have the energy to respond.

My iPhone background is not cycling, it's ballet.

@bikenite A8. I rode the bike around and all, but was really happy to see this hummingbird this week.
