Jeneric<p>For the kidlet's recent celebration, I was also taken with providing the sound system. A very heavy aging tube amp and microphone array were carted by bicycle to and from the event in the community hall. Luckily a more or less level route is possible.<br>Special shoutout to Burley Trailers - this Burley Nomad trailer has taken much abuse over the past 15 years, and always delivered what was asked of it. It has been on bike packing tours, served as a market delivery bakery vehicle, and carried musical equipment way over the safe load limits!<br><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/yegbike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>yegbike</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/bikepacking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bikepacking</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/quaxing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quaxing</span></a></p>

Hab's heute doch noch #rausgeschafft, wenn auch erst kurz nach (dem astronomischen) Sonnenuntergang. War trotzdem noch schön. Bin hinzus den Kappenbühlweg und durch den Wald bis zum Restaurant Grünwald und rückzus entlang der Grenze zwischen Wald und Siedlung. Auf dem Rückweg dann noch "go poschte gsi" (Einkaufen gewesen). Insgesamt laut Garmin 7.8km und 130 Höhenmeter bei 6℃ in 'ner guten halben Stunde (reiner) Fahrtzeit.

War heute bei schönstem #Frostpendeln-Wetter (+15℃ 🤪) das #BromptonElectric G-Line beim #Velofix proberadeln. Kam trotz der nur 4 eng beieinander liegenden Gänge deutlich besser u. weiter von der Schmiede Wiedikon zum Friedhof Uetliberg rauf als mit dem normalen #BromptonGLine mit Alfine-8-Gang-Schaltung u. wesentlich größeren Spreizung. *habenwill* Evtl. kann man ja das mit'm anderen Ritzelset noch optimieren.

War danach noch mit meinem klassischen #Brompton einkaufen.

On parle commerce, circulation, stationnement, mode de transport?

Classiquement, on croit que "pas de parking, pas de client et pas de client... ben pas de client". Le problème c'est que... c'est un peu plus compliqué que ça.

Nous, on fait du vélo, donc on pense plutôt que la marche et le vélo, quand on peut, c'est mieux pour faire les courses en centre ville.

Mais qu'en disent les gens qui ont vraiment bossé le sujet ? 😉

Revue de presse ?

The "Conspicuous consumption" section was the first to grab me enough to respond. The "yuck" this inspires immediately rebounded to another understanding of why some factions of the "commuting living room" fraternity oppose cycling so much. Utility #cycling, especially #quaxing, ebiking and cargo-biking is the perfect antidote - it's "Conspicuous conservation" in the public face of those flaunting the opposite - hence bringing it into question. #eBikes in particular, because someone who can afford to buy a ready-made quality eBike or #cargoBike can also afford to buy a lane-clogging, polluting, down-market mobile living-room but chooses the bike. Running costs aside, of course. #externalities #warOnCars #overconsumption #degrowth
