The current state of my cargo situation with the #lectricOne: a bag, bungee, and lock borrowed off my other bike. (Can't hook at the bottom of the rack bcs brake disk there would rub the hook 🤪#nPlus1problems #bikeTooter #eBikes

Sometimes I'm annoyed at my (n+1) bikes brain. I discovered the Pashley Skyline and now I of course want one...

Luckily I have this rule that I must get rid of a bike if I want a new one... (Even I made an exception for an old steel road bike I got for free to refurbish. I mean who is going to turn down a free bicycle??)

#nPlus1Problems where you have to carry a bike shop's worth of tools in your pockets so you can switch bikes a few times per day

#nPlus1problems - do I try to get a new lock, tools, etc dedicated to this bike, or switch my kit to some easily removable bag? I currently have 4 bikes carrying a pump and tools, but this One also needs work to be secure, as the seat, pedals, and front wheel are all quick-release.

I could take the pedals off and put the lock through them, get a non-quick thru-axle bolt, and maybe the seat+post isn't worth stealing. (It could use a layback + suspension post 😒 that's not a thing.)

If you could only have one bike, wouldn't you move to somewhere you could have two? https://youtu.be/BG648B_6l18 #nPlus1Problems

The Portland Bicycle Advisory Committee meeting audio on zoom is extremely bad, but I take it they've asked everyone to say their favorite bike (how can you choose??) #nPlus1Problems

Riding the 2014 #xtracycle bbs02 #edgerunner more often lately, thinking maybe I should get a #GrinMAC motor for the rear of it, possibly a new bigger battery and update some parts. It's just such a dependable old truck but the rear is a little flexible when youngest+spouse are both on it. 11yo prefers the #supercargo / #umbrellaBike & 13yo is too heavy to not be pedaling so we end up on the #bikeFriday tandem more. Crowded in the garage though #nPlus1Problems #BikeTooter #eBikes #cargoBikes

@glightly you need a trike to tow your quad or vice-versa when one needs to go to the shop #nPlus1problems

@ascentale should every bike have a lock+pump+tools+lights attached and ready to go, or how much do you share which of these between which bikes? My most-used electric cargo bike has its own lock and all that, plus a spot where the poncho usually resides, but many of the new projects and folding bikes are sharing tool rolls or locks that becomes a lot to keep track of. #nPlus1problems
