@ascentale @daihard A5. I started on a relatively flat path separated from cars, and just started taking my hands off for short periods. After practicing enough, I can ride hands-free basically as long as I don’t need to do careful maneuvering. It’s very nice for taking the pressure off my wrists on a long ride. So I guess my advice is to start small, in a low-stress location.

@ascentale A8. I recently learned to ride with my hands off the handlebars. It feels like running, but with superhuman ease.

Also, a well-lubricated chain.

@ascentale @xtaran I've never used dynamo lights before. My strategy is always to carry around a bunch of backup lights – they are one of the most critical pieces of safety equipment I have in the dark, especially when there isn't ambient light. Even though my current primary lights run off an ebike battery, I always keep around spares in case something breaks.

I've read that reflector motion helps with visibility, so I've added spoke and ankle reflectors more recently.

@ascentale @xtaran A5. I ride on a mixture of roads and an unlit rail trail basically every day in the winter.

The rail trail is a bit tricky, because I want to be able to see people walking ahead of me in the darkness, but I don't want to blind anyone. I now have a light with an STVZO shaped beam (Lezyne E65), which helps keep the light focused downward.

@pasci_lei @nixCraft No, kworker and friends are kernel processes. In fact, it looks like htop and init are the only two non-kernel processes running.

@ascentale @ClimateJenny So far my e-bike maintenance has been pretty similar to my road bike – most of the work has been keeping the drivetrain clean and correctly adjusted. The big difference is the hydraulic disk brakes (which most ebikes should have, due to their higher weight and speed) – it's a bit less obvious when they get worn down. I haven't tried to replace the pads yet, but I've heard that it requires bleeding the hydraulic lines.

@inliuofjoan @dr2chase Yeah, that's odd. Last time I did a rollover from employer 403b to personal IRA, both of them with Vanguard, it was pretty seamless. No paper checks were required.

@ascentale @andyw350 I'll sometimes ride with an earbud in on a mixed-use path in the winter, when it's dark, no one is overtaking me, and I need avoid zoning out while watching for people ahead of me. Playing music from a speaker has always seemed a bit antisocial to me outside of group rides.

@ascentale A7. It seems like the main two risks here are the door zone near the UPS truck and moving into the car lane to get around the parked vehicle. To deal with the door zone, I normally just slow down to around running pace. Given that it looks like traffic is pretty light, I would just go to the left of the parked car after checking over my shoulder – usually in light traffic I can hear fast-approaching cars behind me.

@ascentale @moira A4. I normally just keep 1 or 2 tubes on hand, and cycle them out as I get flats. Unfortunately, I don't think I've ever gone more than a year or two without getting a flat and needing to use one.

@ascentale @grammasaurus A2. I think I've usually seen waivers for organized/exercise-cycling rides. I usually join more casual, social rides, and I've never needed one. But as others have said, it may be that there usually isn't an organization sponsoring these kinds of rides.

@ascentale @rodbotic A1. I'm posting from Greater Boston, US. Most of my riding is daily commuting at this point, since it's almost 20 miles round trip. Thankfully, most of the ride is on wooded MUPs, and I get to see the plants starting to pop up as the weather warms up.

@bikenut Ugh, this reminds me of the 1 or 2 students who thought they could change a few variable names in the homework solutions I sent out last year and turn it in without me noticing.

I can recognize my own code...

They should have just come to office hours.

I used to live near that corner, and from what I remember there just aren’t enough drains to handle heavy rains, so a lot of water accumulates in the gaps between storm drains. Then it overflows onto the sidewalk. I’m guessing whatever guideline the engineers used to determine the storm drain spacing doesn’t account for heavier rains.

@tahinisauce I just came across this in an update from Circulate San Diego. It looks like the EIR process has been running in parallel with the planning group. I'm not entirely clear on how the two are linked.
