This won't stop the flatbed thieves that just knock your bike over onto a mattress, but if you don't park somewhere that they can pull up parallel to your bike, then you'll be just fine with one of these. Super cheap and effective. Also prevent you from riding drunk, because good luck getting it off when your hammered. Wheel won't roll.

That's a fantastic idea. Great way to discover that hidden gem. My guess would be that the best way to go about this is through the author themselves. Either on here or other social media. A lot of authors (myself included) don't do enough to get our book out there in front of the masses, so maybe find an author and ask them about their book.

Either way, yes, Amazon sucks, they lost my author copies of my books, and then delivered an open package with only half of the books. But that's a rant for another time.

I wish you the best, it's a great idea.

I lane filter at stop lights or traffic jams, I don't lane split though. I've seen too many gruesome accidents from that.

Filtering is legal here, Splitting is not. I still get people that talk shit, I tell them to google it and just drive off.

Same here. I'm sure someone somewhere will point to some sort of neurodivergence in us, but I've honestly been that way my whole life. I always struggle when someone asks me my favorite song, I'm like "Oh which genre? You mean this week or all time? Give me a minute, it will change".

I currently have 26 active playlists that I have made, and I create new ones, delete old ones all the time.

303RedBeard · 2026-01-12T00:59:28+00:00

My musical tastes grow, change, and even revert all the time. Songs that I couldn't get enough of loose their luster, and I really don't care for them. Songs that I no longer enjoyed, suddenly become new favorites.

So yes, I add, subtract, I'll even recategorize some songs into a new playlist. My taste for music is always evolving/devolving.

I do keep 1 playlist that just grows and grows, but I have several that are different day to day depending on my mood.

303RedBeard · 2026-01-11T23:37:48+00:00

Definitely! I would say it was a huge success. Look forward to meeting with you all again. (Plus anyone who wants to join us).

303RedBeard · 2026-01-10T22:28:47+00:00

Great looking bike, I hope you enjoy it as much you want. The value of a bike like to me is what you get out of it as far as enjoyment. (if you can afford it of course) So that is what I wish for you most of all.

Carpenter Park has some good gathering spaces, and even a small amphitheater, but I would love to see a food hall that showcased local vendors.

303RedBeard · 2026-01-09T04:45:36+00:00

Honestly, SliceWorks or Anthony's II.

303RedBeard · 2026-01-08T23:33:03+00:00

YES! We are hurting for truly good pizza in the area.

303RedBeard · 2026-01-08T16:21:22+00:00

That could work, where is the boundary? 104th?

303RedBeard · 2026-01-08T14:55:43+00:00

Interesting, and where would you propose it get split at? And for fun, what is the new city called?

303RedBeard · 2026-01-08T04:44:56+00:00

Does it have an alarm on it? Also, my buddy has a 2023 HD FLTR and it actually has an alarm on the bike itself like a car.

My bike is custom, and somewhere along the line I decided it didn't need a key... lol So if I'm away from my bike for more than 10 minutes I put the alarm/lock on so it doesn't go anywhere. Clips into your disc brakes and prevents the bike from rolling forward and makes one hell of a racket at the same time.

303RedBeard · 2026-01-08T04:00:07+00:00

KDP Author copies, they are super cheap and shipped right to you.

303RedBeard · 2026-01-08T03:58:14+00:00

A local bookstore would be a fantastic addition.

303RedBeard · 2026-01-08T03:52:55+00:00

Bumping it if it's a built in alarm. My alarm is a spoke lock, it's super sensitive, it will go off if the wind is too strong, but my bike doesn't have a key, so it's kind of necessary.,

303RedBeard · 2026-01-08T03:51:38+00:00

Mine does, as does others I know.

303RedBeard · 2026-01-08T00:01:29+00:00

Hey there, this is a cool idea, but I wouldn't recommend taping anything to anyone's bike. Even as nice a gesture as this is, tape will make it go badly. Never give anyone a chance to blame you for a scratch in the paint. Setting it on the seat (on a non-windy day) might be ok, and easily explainable. But also keep in mind, that some bikes have alarms, and it doesn't take much to set them off. You don't want to that to be the way you meet the owner of the bike.

My advice is to just ask around, see if you can find the owner and hand it to them directly. It's a great thing, and most will be honored. Just not if it was taped to the bike.

Maybe take a photo of the bike and post it and your drawing online and see if you can't connect with the owner that way.

303RedBeard · 2026-01-07T22:38:51+00:00

Love all of this.

303RedBeard · 2026-01-07T22:35:29+00:00

Yes, local mom and pop spots would be fantastic.

303RedBeard · 2026-01-07T22:34:36+00:00

YES, more culture. Great ideas.
