As a little #DIY project I made this construction for the front carrier of my #Brompton. It holds my suitcase, made by #Lat56, where the suit is folded up around the hanger.

When I put the shoulder straps around my handlebars, I can even add my backpack on top, for some more storage. Perfect for getting to #concerts all over the country.

The Guardian: TfL bans most e-bikes on trains amid concern over igniting batteries (London/ebikes) https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/mar/26/tfl-to-issue-ban-on-e-bikes-after-concerns-over-igniting-batteries #bicycles #ebikes #BikeTooter

Hadn't heard of this brand of bicycle before. Either Shimano 600 or Shimano 105 biopace. (entire cassette and chain looks rusted to heck, must have been in someone's backyard).

Fix cost would be: tires/tubes/chain/cassette/brakes at a minimum I think, so not a $50 bike LOL... I would say $200+ total after repairs, but still not bad for an old steel bike, if you were a collector. Also re-wrap handlebars, probably.

Maybe more if you go for some loud tires, probably Panaracer GravelKing in yellow, if they have it.

Bicycles made in the UK and Ireland

"You don’t need vehicle levels of traffic control for bicycles. People on bicycles are really just pedestrians. A bicycle is just an elaborate bit of footwear."

We notice @ternbicycles hasn’t posted on Mastodon about this, so we’re sharing this news with the Fediverse: Tern Bicycles has a new (Gen 3, 2025 model) Tern GSD, "Our Best Cargo eBike for Families.”

If our kids were still young, and budget allowed, we’d love to have one! Check them out: https://www.ternbicycles.com/en/bikes/473/gsd?utm_campaign=gsd-g3&utm_source=mc-reg&utm_medium=email&utm_content=email1&mc_cid=8c4ba2b09a&mc_eid=1473c4e3fb BTW, we got a kick out of clicking their day/night option—and that photo made us wish libraries had Terns for bookmobiles!

30 high value #bicycles have been #stolen from a #bikeshop in Rushmere St Andrew (a suburb just outside #Ipswich in East #Suffolk) by sophisticated #criminals who disabled outside #CCTV and cut #Openreach cables (to prevent #alarms and CCTV activating).

#carryShitOlympics is a great hashtag to follow if you want to see stuff related to cargo loading on #bicycles

Recovering from Saturday's ride, so today it's just a quick commute to church and lunch and a short extra ride around the mall.

First time to park at Mom & Tina's. It felt so safe. I only used my thin cable lock (so no one casually rolls away with my #bike) and left my crappy old phone (the one with the bad ghosting screen) on the handlebar. Of course, I also had my #antitheft alarm on... And I sat close to the door.

I'm not crazy yet to let my guard down. #bicycles #cycling #CityRiding

Look at this cool surfer dude.

A classic cycling situation. A sign that says there is a cycleway, but no cycle way to be seen.

We eventually realised that the two way cycleway mentioned was the shoulder of the road which had some mid protections later on.
