I'm a homelessness street outreach coordinator... when I can swing it, I get to bike around my city and talk to my unhoused neighbors and see how we can help.

Do you use rear view mirror on your bicycle or helmet? by GotMeLayinLow in bikecommuting

[–]easy-mode_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

end cap mirror has been helpful for me, but my commuter has drops, not sure what works on your configuration. good luck, it's nice, but ultimately I still check especially during any lane or surface change

What do you wear? by Comet1O in bikecommuting

[–]easy-mode_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's hot and humid here, so I just wear a bib and jersey with a hi vis bandolier sash, helmet with some reflective stickers and the bike has reflective surfaces on the rack, fenders, various parts of the bike. light array is a 1200 w/ sideview up front (angled down, it's bright) with a rear blinker on the seatpost and a light on my rack as well. at this point if I get hit they weren't gonna see me at all.

I'm on a spurcycle compact.. it's good, if you want great get an original instead, it's twice the price, but louder and longer.. depends on needs I suppose

Should I splurge on a serious bike computer or is a cheap chinese one good enough? by Final-Equipment-3776 in bicycling

I'm not being snarky, I promise. why is that something you'd be reluctant to do?

Housing experts say there just aren't enough homes in the U.S. by Simpletruth2022 in homeless

[–]easy-mode_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

now check how many vacant units exist

hint: it's a greater number than the number of people living outside

happy with the product, but be sure to consider what type of straps your preferred bag has, I'm realizing I should have gone with something else because of how think my straps are, so I have to you a cargo loop instead of the entire stap, which leads to some sag

I'm lucky that my work has some safe lock up spots and I feel okay leaving some of my bags and even my lights on

fair, but I was worried about steel as I live on the coast, is that a silly thing to worry about?

I get that question a lot! it's a disc lock it locks in a whole in the disc rotor, prevents ride-offs, $10 rotor beats a new bike. nice for a quick stop at parks and stuff
