Tired: Everyone should have a cargo bike!

Wired: Everyone should colour coordinate with their cargo bike!

Middle aged, beared, white man looking at the camera and smiling. He is wearing a white hoodie with a pink, piggie bank logo (Bónus) and blue jeans. He is standing next to a pink and white tallbike with tiny wheels. It also has a pink basket.

@ascentale@sfba.social @bikenite@fedigroups.social A8: Taken just today. It was such a nice day, I took the day off to do a (relatively) long ride.

And our last question of the week:

Q8. Do you have a photo to share from this past week?

Cycling-related or not, it's fine either way.

yantor3d@mas.to asks:

Based on a conversation I just had with a cyclist in Alaska...

Q6. What, other than cars/trucks/etc, is your biggest hazard while cycling?

@skyfaller asks:

I read this great article on Rivendell's Silver OM-1 rear derailleur: outsideonline.com/outdoor-gear

Q5. Who else besides Rivendell is innovating with low-tech non-electronic bicycle components?

Bonus points if they're compatible with vintage bikes, to keep the used bikes + parts ecosystem fresh and relevant despite modern ebike trends. Here I want BIFL heirlooms that I can put in my will.

@LovesTha asks:

When bleeding my brakes last night I partially stripped a mounting hole (rear brake). Don't confuse the direction of the mounting bracket or the long and short bolts.

Using my torque wrench I have installed the brake and everything appears to be pretty solid, but..

Q4. What would it take for you to trust these brakes?

@trouble asks:

I am jealous of eurocrate standardization.

Q2. Are there any US bicycle trailers (feel free to chime in for your non-EU country) that are similarly sized or advertised as holding standard crates? In particular, I want solid-sided crates like these which keep dust out.

Does anyone out there happen to know whether the Son/Nabendynamo *e-bike* rear light, which is rated to run on 6V to 12V DC input, will work acceptably well from a 5V DC input?

The Utah Department of Transportation has revealed a plan titled the Utah Trail Network which proposes a state-wide network of bicycle trails.

sltrib.com/news/2025/10/31/uta

The UDOT map of the trail system pictured in the article is available here (PDF):

drive.google.com/file/d/1saimQ

The network would connect Idaho to Arizona. One shortcoming is that it doesn't provide the same connectivity east to west.

And our last question of the week (thank you @kimu and @sam)

Q8. Is your bike dressed up for Halloween? Show us a photo of your Halloween-themed cycle or some other decoration from this week.

Non Halloween photos are welcome if you just want to share something too!

@InkySchwartz asks:

Q7. What drives your N+1 collecting? Utility and each bike has a duty? Beauty and/or interest? Both? Neither? Other?

(or do you not collect at all?)

@hyenachow asks:

Q6. I just bled both brakes but the lever for the rear has way more slack even after turning the set screw right in. If I bleed the rear again how can I make sure it has less slack this time? 8100 levers and GRX calipers.

(Do you use hydraulic brakes? If you do, do you have tips for maintenance in general?)

@Pionir asks:

Q4. Has anyone built a frankenbike? Let's see your photos!

My contribution was my son's idea - he wanted drop bars on his (my old) MTB & ended up with a Monster Cross / Gravel bike.

@meganL asks:

Q3. In the comments of an Evan Edinger video on Paris, some said that this person was one of the most famous vloggers on cycle urbanism in France.

Who are the most famous cycle vloggers in your country?

@RossA asks:

Q2. What would you recommend as a cargo bike in the UK and how do you get around the problems it brings - eg UK weather, distance, weight etc?

(Even ex-UK, how do you suggest dealing with the above issues, with a cargo bike or larger cycle in general?)

Hey #Fahrradbubble, es ist Umfragezeit!

Mir kommt es so vor, als hätte ich noch nie von jemensch gehört, dier
#Kettenwachs ausprobiert hat und nicht zufrieden damit war. Kann das wahr sein?
