And our last question of the week:

Q8. What did you see this week? Share a photo if you'd like. Cycling related or not is fine. Tell us about it!

@Amgine asks:

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

Q7a. #LBS which build up frames are really cool, recycle hardware, and teach people to DIY. Do you know of one local to you?
Q7b. I am still looking for the perfect two-leg kickstand. Any recommendations?

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

@Pionir ask:

Q6. Does anyone have recommendations for digital cameras to use on bike touring or bike packing trips that's:

*not* a phone
*not* a DSLR (I already have a Sony Alpha A580, but I'm starting to want some thing smaller)

Age is not important (I'll buy off ebay if necessary).
Not bothered whether it's an interchangeable lens system or built in lens.
Budget: less than £1000/$1000/1000€

@meganL asks:

As horrible as the reasons for the rise in oil prices are, gas being more expensive might help those with the privilege of choice decide to try cycling to school, work and/or errands instead of driving now.

Q5. How many of you have noticed any uptick in the amount of people cycling around you (more than just the change from winter to spring in the Northern Hemisphere)?

@elliek asks:

Q4. We have our bikes registered with project 529 Garage.
https://project529.com
While it does look to be excellent for tracking a bike that's been stolen, there seems to be no local support for it.

Have you ever used it and gotten local shops or law enforcement involved? How did it go?

@daihard asks:

Q3. How much do you rely on AI to obtain cycling-related information instead of social media such as Reddit, cycling forums, and fediverse? For me, I still go to Reddit for personal experience and feedback, but mostly ask Gemini about technical questions, product information/comparison, nutrition advice, etc.

@epu asks:

I had a possibly crazy plan to visit Seattle or LA more regularly via plane and train, and bringing a bike would help.

Folders look like a classic way to get bikes on/off easily.

Q2. How is bringing a folder on a plane? Do they make a bag or something that you just wad up when you get to the destination?

I’m 300 lbs. Do the mechanisms stand up ok?

Hmm this is not good

Not sure if I can be bothered to fix. I did the other side during lockdown and it has survived well. But the front ring shifting on the newly cracked side is pretty awful too.
