gene x@ascentale @bikenite A8: Rode my bike to my first SF Giants game this week - always love the Bike Valet folks and such a great free service! And the Giants won and beat the Phillies so that was a plus! #BikeNite
ajft [SEC=continvoucly morged]@ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A8 last weekend was rides along the coast and up into the forest. I saw a few coffees and last saturday - a very tasty serve of chips by the beach

Wandering HermitA8) Trees and mountains! Here's my bike leaning up against a rock next to where I'm camping.
f*cking b*tch club@ascentale @bikenite A8: a friend gave me a notebook from Bike Snob, with lovely quotes every couple of pages. This is the first one, and I love it!
Climate Jenny 2.1@ascentale @bikenite A8. Didn’t bike here. Could barely walk here because of all the thorny bramble. But just look at that carpet of Mayapples! #BikeNite
Morgan FletcherA8:
I saw some fun singletrack, bordered by scotch broom, from behind bars. Photo from this morning, 7:12AM.

Marty Cormack@ascentale @bikenite #bikenite A8:
This week we visited the Chicago Botanical Gardens. Chicago is a couple weeks further ahead of home (SE Minnesota) on spring emerging, so we saw lots of early spring blooms we couldn't see at home right now.
The best panorama was a photo of an island with lots of daffodils in bloom.

@ascentale @bikenite A8: I normally only post every 100 miles but in this case 5150 being the IBM PC I took a photo
Bicycling Monterey 💚🌎🌍🌏@ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A8 When we biked to church on Easter Sunday, we were glad to have our panniers with one nearly empty (when we biked there, it was simply holding a wide-brimmed sun hat. That gave us plenty of room on return-home trip for a surprise gift at FPC of potted daisies from our friend Ellen Tucker (of https://sfba.social/@bikemonterey/114906989111518244).
Anyone on Monterey Peninsula on April 12 who’d like to bike there with us for Gospel Bluegrass, see Sunday #BikeTrain; details and to RSVP: https://bikemonterey.org/pop-up-easter-sunday-bike-train.html

rand ❌👑@ascentale @bikenite A8. I took off in a ride the other day and saw this cool cloud over mount hamilton. If you zoom in you can see the observatory on the peak. The shot would have better half a block back… #BikeNite

markn🚲@ascentale @bikenite A8. this week I was admiring topiary at one of our posher coffee stops.
Went on a nice gravel / off road ride suggested by fellow BikeTooter - thanks David
Yorkie 🚴A8: A couple of photos this week. One of my father on his 1930s Motor Units petrol pavement* roller as he needed some publicity photos for an upcoming event, and one of my Genesis Tour de Fer leaning against a fencepost halfway down a bridleway to the south of York.
* US: sidewalk. The roller was originally purchased by the London and North Eastern Railway to roll ash and asphalt railway station platforms as steam rollers were way too heavy!
Megan Lynch (she/her)@ascentale @bikenite A8. Bilbao is a hilly city, so I don't see as much utilitarian cycling around despite the pretty decent infrastructure for it. There are two mobilityshare services. The woman in the photo is riding one owned by Lyft (Bilbaobizi).
So I see a mix of deliveristas, MAMILs (loving the hills), and folks riding rental e-bikes.
Eat This Podcast@ascentale @bikenite On Tuesday I went to the firefighters' museum in Testaccio in Rome. All sorts of strange stuff, but I snapped this firefighter's bicycle with today in mind. It has a hose inside the frame, with a rounded top tube to accommodate the hose. The hose nozzle is the gorgeous brass thing fastened along the seat stay.
Inky says "What the hell?!"@ascentale @bikenite A8. From last week's Easter Train ride. I spotted this Budd RDC powered branch line unit. Oh this was at the Lehigh Gorge scenic railway.
Richard W. Woodley 🇨🇦🌹🚴♂️@the5thColumnist @ascentale @bikenite Nice. Not sure about the one I saw since while I can find records LGSR owns this unit they don't advertise rides on it. But there were people on it when I took the pic. Charter? Dunno.
rowmyboat@ascentale @bikenite A8: Not much! I've been home sick this week. But here's a pic of my veg seeds starting inside. #BikeNite #BloomScrolling
Asphalt and Earth@ascentale @bikenite A8 Lovely ride yesterday to Wasdale Head. Weather was lovely. Heading up I made great time - only realised when heading back that I had a strong tailwind helping me!
Cainmark Does Not Comply 🚲A8. Older photo, but I was by the Houston Nature Center where this is the other day

daihard (he/him)@ascentale @bikenite A8: Nothing fancy. I've been riding round to test my new tires (Pirelli P-Zero Race TLR 4S). I find it much easier to lean in than my old ones (GP 5000 AS TR)! #BikeNite #BikeTooter #SEABikes

Brownian_motion@ascentale @bikenite Late #bikenite A8 photo. For the cost of a couple beers, acquired a roller-trainer. Not easy for me to ride and they say to start in a doorway so you have something to grab onto. Found out last night my wife had shot a video to send to the family, this is a screen grab.
Jon Roach@ascentale @bikenite A8. Last week I saw this for the ten thousandth time.
background: in spring 2020 I was commuting to work each weekday, 44km round trip. I wanted to keep my fitness. I was also aware of the 🇦🇺 lockdown rule of only exercising within 2km of your home (although 🇬🇧 never had that) and the 😷 burden I'd bring if something went wrong 20km from home. And so I started a 14 lap 44km daily ride.
And last week after nearly 6 years I rode my 10,000th lap.
It's the next best thing to a velodrome: quiet smooth roads, fairly flat, lit on dark mornings.

I'm giggling at the possibility that after all this you still aren't Strava's "local legend" for the loop. (#thereisalwayssomeonemorenuts).
Alexander@FourT4 @ascentale @bikenite thinkng about all the routines and temporal changes you will likely have seen on the way round. Yourself being a familiar sight to many. Most likely some wondering what is it with that bloke on a bike whp keeps passing by.
@BongoTwisty @ascentale @bikenite there are about 15 people I recognise, and a huge cast of extras in whose lives I am a regular feature even if I don't know it. New kids starting their first walk to secondary school in September. Trees throughout the seasons. Potholes coming and going. All this will be lost, like tears in rain.
