#BikeNite A8:
Probably the most interesting (to me) thing I saw while riding was the Dan Fogelberg memorial along the Rock Island Greenway near the Illinois River in Peoria Illinois on Monday. He was born in Peoria. The memorial was three boulders with song lyrics etched into them. After seeing it, I had to play my two favorite Dan Fogelberg albums, Souvenirs and The Innocent Age.
@MartyCormack @bikenite I always appreciate the helmet bikestand.

@ascentale @bikenite A8: we had “Walk Bike & Roll” to school day on Wed. Lots of parents are involved, and the kiddos have a blast! One of my favorite events each year.

@ajft @ascentale @bikenite I can't even begin to express how much I despise this behavior.

@ajft @ascentale @bikenite
I maintain a stock of stickers for "suggestive dissuasion" purposes

@ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A8: While cycling I saw a billboard advertisement for a new EV model emphasizing that it uses steer-by-wire technology. Didn't know that this is legal now. And for me, such a "feature" is rather scary and it would be a reason to _not_ buy that car. (Albeit modern cars have already way to many "features" which are a no-go for me anyways, so this just adds up.)

@ascentale @bikenite A8. My spouse finished a master’s degree this year & graduation was today, so we biked to the ceremony in style this morning. #BikeNite

@bikenite A8-2. I also saw this on the way home this week. A parent, riding with kid on the back of an Xtracycle long-tail, with an electric conversion. The kid is carrying a cello(?) as a backpack.

@xtaran @ascentale @bikenite Steer-by-wire has already been used in motor vehicles for a very long time. It's nothing new.

@ascentale @bikenite A8: the shock for me this week was waking up to a car parked in my driveway. And not a car belonging to a neighbour. Almost blocking my driveway, and dumped partly on the lawn.
I suspect someone nearby who knows that I don't own a car.
I'm boggling at the rudeness and have no idea who owns it. But it's gone now and hopefully won't be back.
@moz @ascentale @bikenite I have had people do this to me, I think people visiting neighbors on my block. It's unbelieveably rude.
It also happens frequently at my mother's house in New Jersey, because she has a horseshoe driveway and a corner lot where the local schoolbus picks up and drops off. People brazenly park in her driveway to save their precious larvae made of sugar from being forced to ensure the weather while waiting for the school buss.

@ascentale @bikenite A8. I “finished” rebuilding my old bike, so a bike photo this week. I’m mostly happy with the results, I need a procure a new stem to bring the handlebars up and back a little. The shifting is not quite right, so I need to figure that out. And short pull bar shifters with long pull brakes, so kinda mushy braking, so I still need to figure that out. I knew this would be an issue, but the Microshift Sword brakes claim to have a 1.5 pull ratio, so I was hoping it would be better. Oh and the steering is a little twitchy, which I think will be better with the handle bars higher and closer. #BikeNite

@rand was that the stem from the stock riser / flat handlebar? You might get more pull with the levers slightly farther up the curve, if the extra reach from the drops is tolerable. There is also the Problem Solvers pulley thing that goes on the caliper and doubles the cable pull problemsolversbike.com/products/travel-agent

@rand @ascentale @bikenite Wouldn't moving the bars in that direction make the steering more twitchy?

@ascentale @bikenite A8 #BikeNite Here's a snap of some of our motley crew, shortly before the bloke on the left came off and broke his collarbone. Devine retribution for riding a 'cheeky' route we shouldn't have been on, perhaps? 🤫️

@FourT4 @ascentale @bikenite My first thought too, Jon!
