I probably don’t actually need two bikes. Anyone local in KW interested in my old Dutch bike?

It’s a big 61cm Workcycles/Azor omafiets, 8 speed, lots of features, in good shape. Think $800 or so for the whole package as pictured is fair. DM if you want to know more

If you want an affordable city, where everyone is safe and where everyone belongs, Ken Sim isn’t working for you.

We need leaders who are ready to stand up and fight back. That’s why I’m running with @onecityvan.bsky.social for City Council. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGcI...

Snow removal of cycle paths in Stockholm:
sweeping off snow and spreading brine
The result is often bare ground conditions.

The perfect bike stand.

The Sheffield stand is already great as it provides locking points at front and back.

But its flaw is if it's removed from the ground due you can just slip the locks off the bottom.

This fixes that with a bar.

Now, a thief would have to steal your bike *and* the stand.
