hallettjTip for securing bikes on BART, or other trains
ØR10N5B3LTi like your bike! mind sharing the make and model?
Thanks! It’s an Orbea Diem 30 - the one with a chain instead of a belt. It’s a Class 1 version. I saw it, and was seduced by the shiny. Plus it was on sale.
haha, shiny! thanks for sharing!
betterdeadthanredditA couple modifications to add some additional protection.
Have I slipped into NonCredibleDefense?
Completely undetected like a B-2 hungering for the Three Gorges Dam.
Yep, I should do this
But it’s not entirely about protecting the bike. When it rolls it can knock into the back of the seat in front of it, and generally make passengers anxious
I appreciate your consideration of others, something about the frame geometry was just screaming out for ERA bricks so I obliged. Best not to stand in the way of such things.
The way to prevent rolling is to hold down a brake lever
You’ve reminded me that I need to do something similar but for my e-scooter. When folded up, it will try to roll away as the bus yaws or pitches. But my plan is to drill a hole through the bottom of brake lever housing, so I can push a bolt up that will jam the brake lever whilst engaged. And since the bolt is facing downward, it should fall out when I squeeze the brake, quickly putting the scooter back into action.
I have long hair and always have a few pony tail holders on me. That is what I use for my transit system.
