There's a really good community feature on here called groups. It works like this:

  1. Follow a group's account
  2. You will start seeing posts on that topic
  3. You can post to the group by @-ing it

It's more powerful than hashtag following, as all group posts are actively pushed to all of the group's members. No one misses anything.

Find out more about groups at https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-groups-on-the-fediverse/

If you're interested, try following one of the friendly active groups curated at https://fedi.directory/tag/fediverse-groups/

I'm sorry, cute Toyota COMS, you had my heart for a little bit but there's an that looks very similar but it's a bicycle and therefore always better in my opinion.

There is not a #scarcity of funds for #transportation in the US. We spend tens of billions every year on #road construction and maintenance. That's a policy choice.

We could choose instead to pay for other things, like robust #PublicTransit & comprehensive supports for #walking and #bicycling.

Don't let anyone tell you there's not enough $. We have gobs of $. We just spend it to subsidize the least economically rational form of transportation.

Can we afford great without ? Yep.
Can we afford safe to every school? Yep.
Can we afford wide, along every ? Yep.
Can we afford to buy every household an ? Yep.

But instead we choose to subsidize , and treat everything else as an expensive, frivolous amenity.

People who say they need a car because it rains sometimes, have you tried just carrying an umbrella or dressing your as one? I just rode a 1.5 miles round trip to pickup the kid from school, and my shoes were completely dry the whole time. Keep the DOTs' filthy road water off of you and getting slightly sprinkled with rain is fine.

Are there electric tricycles for those of us with knee issues who aren't quite ready for the full mobility scooter thing and live in hilly areas?

After a couple of rides and a recent visit to have Grey checked (where I asked the vendor to ride it with at zero to see if he too has a hard time pedaling)...

Grey ⚫🚲 is no good without 🔋 power, unlike Big Bike ⚪🚲 that rides like any regular non-powered .

Sad. But good to know.
I thought I was the problem! 😅

It'll still be good for casual city riding and 1 particular yearly long group ride. 😉

Another difference -- though it has nothing to do with them being -- are the brakes. No big deal.

⚪🚲
Front brake, right lever
Rear brake, left lever

⚫🚲
Front brake, left lever
Rear brake, right lever

I don't understand why the world can't just decide on one standard. But that's life. 🤷‍♀️

Both ⚫🚲 and ⚪🚲 have disc brakes.

The more expensive has hydraulic brakes. Pretty intense. Scared me when I tried it. 😳

Du wirst mehr Antworten bekommen, wenn Du Deine Frage an die Fahrradgruppen hier stellst. Das ist eine tolle Community, man muss sie nur ansprechen. Und Hashtags helfen auch 😃

Ich mach das hier mal für Dich, dann kennst Du nächstes Mal die Gruppen 😊:

Liebe @fedibikes_de @mastobikes_de @mastobikes_stuttgart , die Frage war:

„Hat hier jemand Erfahrungen mit , die sind erstaunlich günstig, ist da irgendwas faul?“

I am very pleased to discover that the University Hotel is very* ! 😃

I went there for brunch with a couple of fellow foldie . We literally just walked our through the entrance all the way to the /bar/cafeteria in the back. 😊 No folding or lifting involved. Staff were very nice too!👍

I intend to visit again. 🍴 Patronize the good ones! 😉

In cycling heaven. Today I e-biked my old 2006 Brompton with a Swytchbike kit. Only time for a short ride up Westwood Hill in Sydenham. Tough when I was fit, impossible with late onset asthma. Now trivial.

Still learning to cope with the initial 2/3 second of real cycling on a hill before the motor cuts in.

Their marketing is a tad over-enthusiastic but they do deliver the goods eventually.

I just broke my longest running streak of living without . I have used my for over 4 months, since just before the winter solstice, without even starting a car.
Today I had to drive some friends to the airport. At least it was their car. It was worth it, they are good friends. I peddled over to their house and when I got back peddled home. I had almost forgotten how slow and painful freeway driving is at quitting time and how relaxed I was back on the bike going home.

Have I mentioned I am enjoying my new e-bike? I didn't have a long ride in me this morning, but even a little one can go a long way. For no particular reason, I found last week a hard one. It's bright enough out there for sunglasses. I wore them. My hands were cold.

My parents are coming for a few days this week. It's mostly to see the grandkids. They will stay in a nearby hotel. I probably did not need to clean the oven, but the truth is that it was overdue. Now I am trying to clear the smell.

@tkleinwalsh I got my e-bike last summer and for the first time in a decade I’m really enjoying getting out there on 2 wheels.
I’m 70 and have osteoporosis and arthritis, but I’ve found that as I forced myself to go out for short easy rides I gradually built up my muscles around my knees and can now do 1 hour rides. I’m much fitter and I actually enjoy bicycling 😃

Nice! BC will be offering an ebike rebate program starting in June.

I bought mine last May, so I probably don't qualify, but I'm glad that others will :)

Don't miss: helmets and armbands from PBOT, but still not a connected bike network to ride home on #pdxBikes 😞 "Southwest Neighborhood Bike Fair is a free, family-friendly event that includes biking lessons for children, learn-to-ride coaching for adults, quick-fix bike repair, and e-bike demos. Hosted in partnership with the Mittleman Jewish Community Center and Community Cycling Center.
Sunday, July 23 from 9:00 am to noon at MJCC https://bit.ly/swbikefair ."

Yes, #eBike demos will get people out of cars. But when you're the authority having jurisdiction over the streets, you could nudge a little harder. Maybe try not squandering the entire #transportation budget and wasting everyone's time with your obsession over shuffling more cars to the next red light. 🤷

What seatpost sorcery is this? I don't do too much mountain biking, so I did a double take today when I saw this #ebike seatpost rising after a guy passed me. Are these common on #ebikes? #cycling

An electric mountain bike is traveling on a dirt trail. The seatpost adjusts to a higher level as the rider stands on his pedals.
