So, I need advice on #longcovid and medical advice generally. Trying to get a DX when all your tests come back inconclusive is frustrating. Bout to drop $1400 on a file review. Maybe. When the last labs come back with nothing.

"It is tendonitis!" (Tests good)
"It is a repetitive stress injury!" (Nope)
"It is spine compression!" (Not likely based on MRI)
"It is neuropathy!" (Conduction etc fine)
"It is toxic metal!" (Nope)
"It is vitamin deficiency!" (Nope!)
"It is infectious!" (Not so far)
"It is an STI!" (I'm clean thanks)
"It is uh, long covid!" (Maybe)
"It is an allergy!" (Maybe)
"It is gut biome!" (Maybe)
"It might be MS but probably not!" (All clean MRI)
"You're too oversexed for your system!" (I mean, accurate prob)
"You've been cursed by eldritch forces!" (Fucking probably)
"You're developing magical powers!" (Worth the shit tbh)
"You're dying of something undetectable." (My late night fear)

Does anybody know of a better umbrella term than "non-standard bicycle" for all bikes that are not the "standard" shape? So including #recumbent bikes/trikes, #handcycle and other #adaptedbikes but also #cargobike #unicycle #tricycle etc

Some ideas if nothing exists already:

• altercycle
• laterocycle
• pretercycle
• teratocycle
• nothocycle

I want language to talk about how #bicycle storage infrastructure doesn't include bents, cargobikes, trikes, etc. #CyclingInfrastructure

Mon #vélo couché a été volé hier. C'est un Bacchetta jaune. Je suis physiquement handicapé et c'était mon moyen de transport principal. 😭

Aidez-moi à le trouver: https://bikeindex.org/bikes/2557616

My yellow #recumbent #bicycle was stolen last night. Help me find it: if you see this bike let me know! I'm disabled and it was my primary means of transportation. 😭 #Montreal #VeloMTL #BikeToot

A yellow Bacchetta recumbent, shown from behind. It is loaded with paniers for bikepacking and propped against a picnic table.
