@ascentale @bikenite This might be too nerdy.
Do any of you use special chains on your bike? I’ve been researching the history of chains and have discovered that there’s more than one kind. Or there used to be.
Are there advantages to different chains? If so, what are they?

@ascentale @bikenite: A #BikeNitePQ:
Given that the freewheel of my Brompton Electric G-Line started failing today and the cassette was spinning without the wheel in both directions, I wonder what unexpected part failures did you already have on your cycle(s)? (Ordinary flat tires do not count. 😉)

@grammasaurus @bikenite I think many would appreciate questions on the nerdier side!

@xtaran oh no! Sorry to hear that as I know it it is not that old.

@ascentale @bikenite We’ll find out!

@ascentale @bikenite #BikeNitePQ We've had a fair few questions on tyres, tubes, and valves and it's apparent from responses that we've posters who run all manner of setups. What do you run and why? (For eg, have you made a conscious decision or just used whatever came with your bike? Tyres: Chosen for ride quality, durability, grip? Tubes: latex, butyl, TPU? Tubeless: fave sealant? any insert? etc, etc …)

@ascentale @bikenite When you’re cycling, how and when do you alert others to your presence? Others can be people walking, other people cycling, or people driving motor vehicles. A bell? Your voice? A bulb horn? An air horn? Something else?
-
@xtaran oh no! Sorry to hear that as I know it it is not that old.
@ascentale: Correct: Close to one year old and just 2850km on the clock. It's a warranty case. It's now at my LBS.

Have you considered adding "is it uniform or is it different for different situations?" to that question?

@uxmark @ascentale @bikenite oooh, that’s a good one!
I bet there will be followup questions as well: what do you do when the other person doesn’t respond?
or their response is not at all what you thought it would be?(my fave is when I call out “passing on your left” and the person walking on the path MOVES to the left!)

A bell.... And or a "On Your Left" delivered in enough time for people to realize that 1) yes I mean your left 2)No do not move to your left.
My voice is louder and clearer than my bell, thanks to decades of theatre performance

"Biiike laaaaane
You're in the biiiiike laaane
Don't walk in the biiiiike laaaane
Walk somewhere else!"Very loud, very clear... They get the point

@ClintonAnderson @uxmark @ascentale @bikenite i have a bell for compliance with the law but much prefer an “on your left”

@auxonic @ClintonAnderson @uxmark @ascentale @bikenite Just a cheery "hello!" from me. People have near-zero understanding of what "on your left" means in my experience :-)

@uxmark @ascentale @bikenite I try to play inoffensive music on a bluetooth speaker so that people can hear me approaching. I also aim to pass with such wide clearance that I don't need to signal, otherwise I slow down, a whole darn lot. At walking speeds, I may say "excuse me".
A bell has a 50% chance of making someone jump out of their skin. Too many people use "onYerLeft" like a magic phrase that only needs to be mumbled to gain passage w/o either slowing down or leaving room.

@uxmark @ascentale @bikenite also-also, this time of year, lot of people walking in the bike lane because lazy fucks in snow plows block the crosswalks so the sidewalks are useless. In that case, I ride in the street, in the center of the "car lane", because this is a car problem, not a pedestrian problem. I am large, male, white, privileged, on a big weird bike, I am more able to make that point than anyone else on the road.

@aitech - Avere a disposizione un'IA abbassa le nostre capacità di pensiero. È un problema.

Regime change in Iran won’t be easy, a veteran diplomat says. Asking unarmed civilians to topple a tightly controlled, heavily armed regime is a tall order.
And after urging Iraqis to rise up in 1991, then stopping short of Baghdad, U.S. credibility problems linger.
