#bikenitepq

I have been "voluntold" by my spouse that I'm running a kid's bicycle rodeo in August. I have helped with 2 bicycle rodeos run by 3 other LAB LCIs, but never ran one. I've been told they've had them before so have the supplies and proper forms and waivers. I've looked up and saved what I could learn from my bike education materials & the web. Does anyone have any advice or personal experience to make it more fun? I am not competitive at all, and I understand kids usually are. #BikeNitePQ

@ascentale@sfba.social #BikeNitePQ I injured my shoulder somehow (getting better) bicycling a couple of weeks ago... probably a ligament type injury since it's taking awhile to heal. Anyone have any recommendations on stretches/exercises/things you should be doing to prevent those sorts of things? (also trying to adjust my handlebars/etc. to put less stress in those areas now).

looking at a 300km bike ride to accustom my brain to 15+ hours of pedalling, before Chase The Sun in June (another 300km event). The nearest permanent audax route starts from Poole, 30 mins away by train. I can either train to Poole and start at 2330, first five hours in the dark, or I can start at 0700, and risk not returning in time to catch the last train home. 🤔 #BikeNitePQ what would you do? ("stay at home" doesn't count) @ascentale@sfba.social (BikeNite: outsourcing thinking for myself, while building a sense of community 😃)

@ascentale@sfba.social #BikeNitePQ please could you share images of

• women cycling, late 19th century, early 20th century, when women cycling was A Big Deal*, including but not limited to advertisements and patronising satirical cartoons

• press cuttings about women cycling

• contemporary stuff showing bicycles are still a tool of independence (Afghan women for example)

• even more so than today

Thanks. I got a message from Roach Minor earlier this week, they have just learned that the bicycle played a big part in women's independence and I think it would be fun to deluge them in examples.

Yes, I could do all the research myself, but I know you'll all have fun with it, and asking you to do unpaid work builds our sense of community. 😃

Hypothetically, were I employed, could I book my time getting a bike fit to "medical time off - physio?" 😃 (this is not a #BikeNitePQ 😃) #cycling #BikeToot #velophant

@ascentale@sfba.social @bikenite@fedigroups.socia #bikenitepq PQ) What do you hope to change about how, where and why you ride a bike? Already achieved cycling nirvana? Or looking to take a step on the ladder of pedaling enlightenment? (I can't decide if we've had this one before or not, but if we haven't...)
