Hey #bostodon ! We are having a Mastodon meetup (tootup?) next Friday the 19th, because @skinnylatte is in town!
Details:
Trillium Beer Garden
In the Greenway by Rowes Wharf
5–7pm (or thereabouts, who knows, we could shut the place down if we are feeling feisty)
I have gotten permission to bring in n/a beverages for those of us who don’t drink. There are food trucks on site and you can bring your own food. (No live lobsters, please.)
It’s convenient to the Red Line, Blue Line, Silver Line, and South Station commuter rail, a slightly longer walk to the Green and Orange lines and North Station, and close to all ferries (you can roll off the Hingham/Hull/Lynn ferry and into the beer garden). AND you can park in the Rowes Wharf or Aquarium Garage, if you are the sort of person that enjoys driving in Boston at rush hour on a Friday.

@blogdiva I was going to say I only read one book of his, but I just figured out that actually that book was by Graham Greene ("The End of The Affair"). I really hated that book and my bad memory has apparently unfairly prejudiced me against Chesterton (it's the literary equivalent of M. Night Shyamalan's theological wankery movie "Signs": hero regains their faith because of a series of miraculous events that the author created).
So I guess I should try reading some Father Brown stories.
@smadin If you look under the handlebars, do you see the little black discs? Very much not an expert but what I learned is that means "not adjustable".
But if you go to a bike store they can sell you parts that will make height adjustable, and/or swept back handlebars.
And I do recommend trying a BlueBike if you haven't recently, just to compare what posture could be like. It's so much nicer to be upright, and you can't really control it that much with posture.
@smadin If you're putting too much weight on your hands, you want more swept back and/or higher handlebars which allows you to sit more upright. Seat height is more about making sure you can reach the pedals.
For me, at least (5'6") BlueBikes allow for a lovely upright posture, if you want to see the difference.
(it's possible the whole bike doesn't fit you, but less likely?)
(Context: I only do city biking, sport/road biking people have their own whole thing with different priorities.)
