After taking this pic I fired up Marine Traffic and looked up the name of the ferry. It was the Golden Gate.

@jef one of my favorites of theirs!

@Charlobo it's not! That looks like it has only two points of contact and no arm like in my photo. But thank you for sharing!

@jbenjamint I don't think it's going to be that terrible once I get used to the rack. Back in the day I mounted a bike on a Google shuttle, and the hook at the top helped line things up.

@baloo Good eye! I hadn't noticed what was integrated and what was fab'd.

@jbenjamint Thanks! Appreciate the confirmation. I'm not excited about rushing to install it while standing behind a bus on 19th Ave, but here we are. Maybe I can throw it in the cargo compartment under the bus? I'll ask the driver.

After yet another Thule search, I think the arm is for clamping just the downtube.

Hey #BikeTooter!

How do I mount a bike on this type of bike rack?

I know that I hang the front wheel on the uppermost piece, and I know I ratchet in the front and back wheels on the top and bottom. But what about the arm? What does it clamp onto?

The rack is Thule, but I couldn't find this type of rack on the their site for instructions. Bonus points if you can find me exact instructions, or photos of a mounted bicycle.

If you're curious, this is a Genentech shuttle - I don't work for Genentech, but as someone working in Oyster Point I can ride their shuttles!

@zachklipp This guy also published this article, leading me to believe that this is less than well qualified discover.hubpages.com/educatio

CNN’s Bash did a weird interview with Harris. An obvious error, they should’ve had Zsh do the interview

Software folks, where do you find job listings besides employers' job sites? I've mostly been using LinkedIn, any other faves?

I'm leaning towards Bluesky over Mastodon for new posting - seems to have more life. Connect with me at mattlaroche.bsky.social
