I ride #bikes, especially comfortable, sensible, #3speed bikes for transportation and fun at a #PartyPace.

Sometimes I'm a total geek. I'm trying to figure out how much power I'm going to need on a potential bikepacking trip.

I've added a lot of electronics to my kit since my last bike tour. All I had on that tour was a phone that I kept off, a coin battery powered bike computer, and a couple of batteries for my camera.

I'm going to carry one or two NB 10,000 battery packs and count on one or two electrical outlets at state park campgrounds.

@bryanhansel I haven’t put it to the test of a multi-day trip yet, but my generator headlight has a USB port. Thinking I can use it to charge up my battery pack as I ride and then charge/power my gear with a topped off battery pack when done.

@paul ah, yes, the deserved punishment for buying too much Apple hardware

how many sizes of seatposts are there, ? It's like 0.1mm increments between 26 and 40mm or something. 😂 So many to choose from.

@enobacon for metric, yeah, many many many. For SAE, not as many, but still too many. The negative impact of using even a slightly wrong size is massive.

All bike shops should have a seatpost sizing gauge and can get the right size for you and, it should be a free service, even if you don’t buy the post from them, but maybe you can?

There are so many sizes that many small shops can’t even carry a small percentage of possible sizes, but hopefully would at least have the common ones.

Can anyone here tell me what kind of vehicle this is? It looks like a ride at Epcot. Saw a guy riding it in his suit to the airport!

@ukuku this is my favorite Sinclair C5 artifact on the internet: https://youtu.be/l5N937V8ZOw

Still bummed that Deliveries got discontinued. The FedEx app is truly awful. UPS is less worse but still pretty janky.

@paul It’s up there in my list beloved apps I can’t use any more. The others:

Ticketfly (the best event ticketing purchase experience I could imagine)

Dark Sky

and, of course: Tweetbot

I’ve moved to Parcel, but it really seems like a sub 1.0 version of Deliveries.

Since when did CBD places start outnumbering coffee shops?

@paul In Portland…. about 11 years ago.

My cheap-o mini has been stuck in Tennessee for the last 4 days and I think that's Apple's way to tell me I should've gotten the Ultra instead.

@paul making the choice between 16/256 and 16/512 was one of the hardest consumer decisions I’ve ever made. I also went 256. The cost difference was simply unbearable.

I watched/shared the @notjustbikes video about huge stupid trucks and now my YouTube recommendations are absolutely ruined. https://youtu.be/jN7mSXMruEo
