cmgrowellThis is interesting. It bans *all* ebikes, even legitimate class 1-3 bikes, from sidewalks, parks, and trails. So, if I was riding my emtb and went to a park and rode on the sidewalk or across the grass for a little ways to get to the water fountain I could get a $100 ticket. This would include anyone on a legal commuter ebike as well. I'll be walking my bike in Westlake Village parks from now on I guess. Fortunately, the city itself does not have many trails, but it is surrounded by them.I get what they are trying to do, but they should focus on the modified e-bikes and e-motos that are fast and heavy and doing the most damage. Plenty of people use class 1-3 e-bikes for exercise and aren't out there scaring people and tearing up parks. <a href="https://ktla.com/news/california/southern-california-city-the-latest-to-announce-e-bike-crackdown/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://ktla.com/news/california/southern-california-city-the-latest-to-announce-e-bike-crackdown/</a>Full ordinance: <a href="https://www.wlv.org/DocumentCenter/View/5687/PH2" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.wlv.org/DocumentCenter/View/5687/PH2</a><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a>

mhoyeMy <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/biketooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#biketooter</a> friends a question: I'm using "ebike approved" or "ebike rated" for geared hubs to mean "I, a strong if non-pro cyclist, will _probably_ not be able to tear this thing in half if I try hard and believe in myself."Is that reasonable?(I'm looking at Shimano hubs now for an experimental build, I know the gold standard is Rohloff but they are about 5x+ what I'm willing to spend on unproven idiosyncracies.)

Cranky Clown5 pm Main to Glenwood Boise River greenbelt report: 98°F and mostly sunny. 6.7 miles, 25 minutes, saving 2.35 kg CO2. I counted 16 bikes and 2 good dogs.

LennyNo matter what kind of bike you're riding, always get yourself a mirror. It makes a really big difference to be able to know what's going on behind you, to be able to tell when <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/carbrain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#carbrain</a> people are passing close or fast or both, usually right in front of a red light or when they're going to turn because Überholzwang is kicking in.I've tested a lot of mirrors and the one I prefer is the Cateye BM-45. It weighs almost nothing, looks good, takes a beating, doesn't distort, doesn't need constant adjustment and is cheap.<a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/biketooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#biketooter</a>

kimuRough ride home from work today. Expected the afternoon heat to be rough, but tbh it was even worse than I anticipated. Then I got shouted at by a driver for the crime of pointing out a “STATE LAW YIELD” sign when he wasn’t slowing even a little bit as I crossed. Anyway, feeling better after lots of water & sitting in a cool room. I was only out there for 25 minutes. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a>

Hans on the BikeI saw a new looking Chinese brand bike sitting unlocked in a corner of a mall for hours near no one. I don’t have an account of Facebook stolen bikes. What shall I do?

A trail ride did not seem possible today, so I did a long road <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/bicycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bicycle</a> ride instead, the Potsdam, Millville, Elgin loop for 54 miles. I stopped for lunch at O'Neill's in Elgin. The roads were pretty quiet. I had forgotten how big a climb it is out of Millville, 300 ft up in just under a mile. It was a pretty good workout, so I can chill this afternoon. <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a>

T. J. BombadilI hit a curb obliquely on my morning commute on my gravel bike. A mile later, I noticed a little sealant around the bead of the back tire and figured I’d burped a little air as one sometimes does.However, looking more closely, I see that it’s leaking out of the *rim*! It didn’t seem like enough of a hit to break an aluminum rim, but… yikes!<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BikeTooter</a>

Nate AllenThere's not enough paint in the world to paint all the dicks it would take to make NE Going street (my neighborhood East/West bike boulevard) a smooth ride.
