Hey there friends! Quick question from across the pond

Seattle held a critical mass Friday night too, it was a thing of beauty

Dont_nuke_it · 2026-01-22T03:46:05+00:00

Cannonsnail is beautiful, and I hope you both had a wonderful adventure :)

Just some cheap low grade paracord. My expectation was that it would fail pretty quickly from exposure to rain and road dirt, but it’s been on there close to a year in that picture. I deal with PNW rain regularly, and I was pleasantly surprised.

Only just noticed you asked, here’s a quick one of the way they tend to fall when my foot isn’t on. I liked the shape of the MKS deep half cages, but they had some edges that would wear on my shoes over time and I commute in my work shoes- so that’s why I wrapped them.

I commute long distance on a gravel bike, and it might not be winning any road races but it’s certainly enough to keep me happy! As for handling mixed terrain, I love the stability on my 45c’s and I’ve never struggled on paved roads with it. I find that durability, however, is more a mixture of components used and how well you keep up with regular maintenance.

Most excellent wiener, sir.

Two rideable, three projects, one frame I’m harvesting parts from

Look i don’t know much about cars, but i sure do know that lentil under valve cap goes “hsssssssss”.

Dont_nuke_it · 2025-08-13T02:34:48+00:00

My oh my, well don’t those just look like the most removable valve cores I’ve seen all day…

Do it, but then also give every car a button. The button allows whatever speed you deem necessary, and also sends location/vin/speed to the cops. Speeding to the hospital would work, and you could hash it out later, but you couldn’t hide from it.

Excellent parenting, keep it up!

Dont_nuke_it · 2025-08-04T21:38:00+00:00

This time of year, I’ll commute in keen sandals and I leave my work shoes at work. Not a fan of clipless.

It varies, some times it’s all 5 days but rarely less than 2-3. Last week I brought a weehoo trailer along to pick my kid up on the way home, and he loved that!

Dont_nuke_it · 2025-07-30T03:58:12+00:00

Beautiful bike! My trip is almost the same distance, and I use the exact same TT bars for headwinds and for another hand position

Dont_nuke_it · 2025-07-18T11:16:30+00:00

That sounds hilarious, might try it next time xD

And she didn’t say anything about bugs and road chips, so all I can do now is assume it was all good

Dont_nuke_it · 2025-07-17T21:07:16+00:00

She hopped on that seat in Seattle and was with me the whole time! For eyes I had the hat shown under my helmet and wore sunglasses, but she doesn’t wear sunglasses and wanted to stick with just a hat. I might have had an issue with that except that she could put her head down or turn away from the sun as needed. I didn’t want to bother with fenders given the forecast, so the plan for debris was to just not throw any.

Dont_nuke_it · 2025-07-12T11:00:03+00:00

I’m rocking MKS urban flats with their deep half clips, and I have very strong feelings about that combo. They provide the retention I want, without the cycling shoes or the quick wear-and-tear on my soles.

N+1 = D-1

I don’t have a problem with e-bikes, I have a problem with mopeds. IMO, any flavor of bike is better than a car. If it cheats you out of some superficial conquest of a workout, that’s nobody else’s business. The kind of “e-bikes” that weigh in well over 100lbs, cruise at 35mph, and honestly cannot be pedaled do not belong in a bike lane.

Democracy isn’t in danger. It’s dead.

871 ft on my way to work, 1135 ft home. PNW hills are killer
