It's a holiday week here in the US. But we still have our next #BikeNite this Friday at 4pm Pacific standard time (UTC-8).

This is our weekly call for questions. Reply with any you'd like me to add to the discussion on Friday. Please add the BikeNitePQ hashtag so it's easier to find a Proposed Question. There is room for more!

(BikeNite is a Q&A type discussion on the Fediverse.) #BikeTooter cc @bikenite

Our community discussion #BikeNite starts in about an hour, at 4pm Pacific (UTC-7). I post cycle-y questions w/ Q1, Q2, Q3; if you answer w/ A1, A2, A3, etc, it's easier to match.

Tag #BikeNite if you want your answer to be more discoverable; follow it to see questions & replies in your feed. Boost & reply to replies to keep the discussion going.

(You can follow the BikeNiteQ tag so questions are easier to find, but don't include this in your answers)

Woody Guthrie

"The crops are all in and the peaches are rott'ning,
The oranges piled in their creosote dumps;
They're flying 'em back to the Mexican border
To pay all their money to wade back again

Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye, Rosalita,
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria;
You won't have your names when you ride the big airplane,
All they will call you will be "deportees"

...

Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards?
Is this the best way we can grow our good fruit?
To fall like dry leaves to rot on my topsoil
And be called by no name except "deportees"?"

Just got an email from the kind person running the fundraising bike sale...who's still trying to sell the quad. People are turned on by it (kids were vying to try it), but no one wants to buy it, even at a price that's 1/5 what I paid for the quad alone, leave alone the two custom batteries I had made for it.

They're too afraid of skeezy people to try selling it on Craig's List.

If anyone is interested in buying it for $2000 obo, I can give your contact info to them. New seat covers are black.
