Oh no, am I turning into a downhill gremlin? Riff Raff's superb hydraulic 105 brakes make this twisty plummet way too much fun. #bikestodon

Maybe I need to investigate tubeless for my "city bike". This is the second tube that's gotten eaten by a curb edge. >.>

Tip: if your bicycle helmet is getting nasty, then the next time you take a shower, lather up with shampoo and wear your helmet.

Always surprised to read these glowing reviews, and their focus on weight. Only to notice that my 40 year old steel road bike is only 200gr heavier than the entry level bike (and I could probably get there if I upgrade my cockpit and seat post to carbon). ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

'It corners like it's on rails' โ€“ at ยฃ2,400 for the entry-level model and with all the aero you'll need, Merida has knocked it out of the park with the new Reacto

The new Merida Reacto finds itself without a WorldTour team for 2026, but at these prices, it doesn't matter

Hey #bikestodon #bikeTooter anybofy have recommendations for fenders for the REI CTY 1.1? I found some discussion online that most donโ€™t fit without modification, but the Portland Design Works will, Iโ€™m just not sure about spending almost as much on fenders as I am on the bike.

This is why I have hope for the US. You see politics infiltrate in other discussions and topics. You see this in Ars Technica and Wired coverage, but also this one in the bikepacking community. People don't let this slide anymore. For many this isn't just news anymore, this is personal.

It turns out it was all a waste of paper and a waste of my time taking part in the consultation. The council now say regarding the Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council Cycling Strategy: "Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, as a district local authority, has no responsibility for cycling strategy and, therefore, does not hold the information requested."
