So i asked the question last week about a strava club, didn't seem to be one, so i made one

All welcome obviously. Please boost for visibility

I might have already asked about that, but...
I need arm and leg sleeves with UV protection for #cycling. Any recommendations? I like my tattoos and my bright skin doesn't like sun
A driver killed a cyclist & then lied about it telling police, "I was driving, I didn't see him because of the sun."
The collision investigation however concluded that the sun was not a factor in the incident.
The driver was sentenced to just 20 months driving ban & 200 hours of unpaid work. Yes, life is cheap if you are a cyclist.
#PresumedLiability now!

Meaghan Hackinen finished Atlas Mountain Race 2025 second. 1300km of unsupported bikepacking.
Why am I telling you this?
Because she is 40 years old woman who doesn't look like slick thin cyclist you could think about.
I feel empowered. I'm always on edge during race events due to how I look in comparison to other women and how am I perceived in general. But today I feel better with myself.

Before you say she has visible muscles and such - it doesn't matter. People's view (mostly men) on how the body should look like is extremely crooked and just wrong.
If you speak Polish...

Would really love some opinions from people who have ridden this bike, especially anyone who's used it a while.

Health benefits of pedestrian and cyclist commuting: evidence from the Scottish Longitudinal Study
If ever you doubted that #cycling was good for you, doubt no longer!

MTB rides just hit different... 
Tired now 
Hey #cycling #biketoot #biketooter peeps, what's your go to confectionery for those longer rides?
Okay, so there's a joke in the xBiking community about having "Talismans" on your bike, and I want to turn into the skid and take it a little more literally. I already have a Nazar on my saddlebag, but I'd love to inscribe some wards/glyphs/sigils/runes as I build it up, and I'm looking for ideas.
I'm building the wheels, and wheelbuilders already frequently hang a loop around the hub, so that could be an interesting place to hang something.
Etching protective glyphs along the fender is kind of what got me down this rabbithole.
I know rotating circles are supposed to be powerful, so inscribing something along the rims might be interesting.
I'm open to ideas from any culture or tradition, but would prefer to avoid christian/angelic iconography. Just not my speed.
This bike is moving in a bit of a goblincore direction, and I'd like to lean into that.
I'm open to trading mechanic expertise for favors, or skillsharing!
Aight, project time: I'm trying to get this MB-1 built up before September for some chill autumnal cruises and as my commuter for my EMT-B classes I'll be starting in... holy shit, 5 days. I need to decide on whether I'm staying 8 speed or joining the modern era (still sticking with a triple up front, or maybe a "Turkey Vulture" double). I'm gonna get a little flashy with my brakes and get some anodized dia-compe cantis, green and blue, and a matching set of levers. I'm planning on going with friction shifters, just a question of whether I am cheaping out and getting Microshift or balling out and getting some Riv Silvers. I'm hoping to find some fun straddle hangers, some silver metal fenders and maybe wrap things up with a Pellago commuter front rack to hold my textbooks.
I still need to pick a rear hub (36 holes, 135 OLD, and preferably not one of those newfangled hubs that sound like a goddamn buzzsaw), run spoke calculations, and pick a set of dynamo powered lights. This is going to be my first wheel build (and then I have 4 more sets I'll need to build up for my housemates. I think buying a truing stand is justified at this point. :P)
I'm a little nervous about the damage to the drive-side chainstay, but I'll be treating the area with boiled linseed oil to prevent further rust and will be crossing all of my fingers and toes extra hard.
Nice! Chimes with my bio comment that I'm "unable to think of a single UK city, town or village that wouldn't be immensely improved by a vast reduction in motor traffic."
Same for cities, towns & villages the world over.
We know that exercise is good for you, but the health benefits of cycle commuting are striking. A study followed 82,000 #Scottish people over 18 years and showed that cyclists had 47% lower risk of death (during the study period) compared with inactive commuters, plus a 51% lower risk of dying from cancer. Other major benefits were also noted. #cycling #biketoot #biketooter #scotland #health
@nathans@infosec.exchangeStop driving WOKE cars and ride a bike like a PATRIOT today
Holy moly, yesterday's ride kicked my butt, but man was it worth it!

My new favorite gif 
Every year in The Netherlands they try to organize the Dutch Headwin Cycling Championships. They try, because it is fully dependent on the right wind speed (7 to 9 beaufort) and it must come from the right direction. The course is 8.5 km long.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Headwind_Cycling_Championships
The video below is played on normal speed.
With this wind speed it is like riding uphill at a 10% gradient. What do you prefer?
