This doesn't even exist in this configuration anymore.
Still, you can't ask for a more idyllic starting point to ride up the coast. Captain Kidd's Fish Market parking lot feeds directly into closed, protected bike path, all the way up to Marina del Rey, where you can continue on up Ballona Creek.
One of my favorite projects ever. (Now, a thread.)
A mountain lion sighting is what drew my eye to this little arroyo I didn't know existed before. You might say I became a bit obsessed. You would be making an understatement. I've been in here nearly every day since. In exploring it, I discovered a lot of things including remnants of trail and animal paths buried under overgrowth which I stitched together to create a short flowy trail on. The idea evolved to follow the channel closely so you could see the mini seasonal superbloom there. In particular, it was the biggest stand of Seep Monkeyflowers I've seen on the plateau and there was a small Hedgenettle meadowy area. It was full of pollinators. I've been posting some of these things for about a year now. First on pixelfed, now on Vernissage.
It's really hard to see here but water flowed a bit in the rain past few days, moving some of the plant debris, and started to clump around rocks I had moved out of the trail. It's an idea to slow flash flooding, create little damming and terracing effects in the arroyo channel and it's working! It's very sensitive habitat but I hope to facilitate the wildflowers in here to spread out even further. It was previously very hard-packed dirt, smooth, and water would not linger so much. The wildflowers that will pop up here are adapted to thrive from the underground springs and water just below the soil in these arroyos I hadn't realized existed. A lot of layers to this make it too complex to sum up here. Anyhow, you can see some of the material collecting around the rocks.

They're made of retro-reflective material that bounces light directly back to the source - I have them on my helmet and they are SO BRIGHT when car headlights or bicycle lights hit them. US shipping only (unfortunately), stickers ship free.
If you're local to #boston#cambridgeMA#somervilleMA I'll be selling at the FLUFF FESTIVAL next Saturday, September 19, 1-5p! Come say hi, I love meeting my pocket friends.
Mandatory cycle helmet laws just mean less cycling and an overall decline in health for the population.
This idea is by someone who is an idiot or hates cyclists.
Also what next, shall we mandate wearing walking helmets for people walking and running in the winter because statistically I think they are far more likely to be falling and hurting themselves.
P.S. I included a translation to English in the Alt Text

Critique of misrepresenting "We should make it better and safer for people to bike" as "Every person must ride a bike for every situation, everywhere, every single time," ending with the question, "Could we please stop this childish game?"
Just had a lovely conversation with a total stranger about urbanism, bikes, cars, and public transit. He told me about how bike share and transit makes it easier for him to get around with his disability. Made me happy to hear and also wish we had a less car centric world.
@uxMark asks a question that is making me feel a little jealous!
Now that I’m a Brompton owner, I’m more-often noticing Brompton riders in the responses here or in posts from folks I follow.
Q4. For Brompton and other folding bike vets, what are some special tips for newbies that you could share? For other new riders, what’s your experience been like? Also, please share photos 😀🚴♀️❤️
"For a while, it seemed like cycling’s pandemic boom might be just that—a temporary response to lockdowns, empty streets and crowded transit systems. But a major international study suggests something very different happened in the world’s leading cycling cities. Where governments continued investing in protected bike lanes, traffic calming and connected cycling networks, more people kept riding long after COVID restrictions ended."

This week wildfire smoke has turned the skies above Toronto and nearby cities in Ontario orange and smoke-filled, with serious health implications. Obviously we’re not the first region to experience this and won’t be the last. I masked all day indoors and outdoors while cycling to some important meetings.
Q6. What are your own experiences with similar conditions? Did you cycle at all? How did you stay safe? What are the best practices for people who have to bicycle commute or go to the grocery store, etc?
Q4. Have you ever seen or brought a cycle on an airplane with you? How did you pack it for transport? I've heard that Bromptons can fit into overhead bins as carry-on luggage. Have you tried this? Do any other bikes fit? Is it worth it?
A bicycle cockpit with handlebars, a bar bag containing a loaf of egg-washed bread with chocolate chips show the foreground, with a bicyclist ahead, a road stretching forward lined by leafy trees, houses, and a blue sky with cumulus clouds above.

I saw a couple of cyclists riding on a traffic-heavy road with no shoulder, correctly riding with the flow of traffic. But there was a separated bike path on the opposite side of the road that seemed much safer.
Q7. Is it better to bike against the traffic flow on a safer path especially if it's separated, or stick to being part of traffic?
Two days this week while riding road bicycle rides, I was harassed by multiple Red-winged Blackbirds that swooped down nearly crashing/landing on my helmet. They're territorial and especially protective of their nests.
Q6. Have you ever been annoyed by, harassed, chased or attacked by critters while cycling?
I toot in English and Finnish, depending on the subject and what’s on my mind.
I maintain a #pinball#arcade with my partner @apzpins which we’ve been running for soon 15 years. The arcade is also on fedi, but we post in Finnish only, @hopeakuula , in case you’re interested.
We also have an elderly cat Wäinö in our small lovely family, who I toot photos of at times.
I am a #chef by profession, so #food and #coffee are huge things for me. I sometimes toot about food stuff, and gladly talk about food, food cultures and share experiences.
#cycling is also fun, I mainly do this during the snowless time of the year. My home town has pretty good bike routes and I sometimes toot photos of those.
I’m #autistic , which surely comes off as hyper fixactions and in an unusual way of experiencing, seeing and handling the world and its goings-on.
I take quite a lot of pictures, and usually add those to my toots. I love to write a lot, so Mastodon is the social media platform for me. Spoonerisms are a part of my every day life, even if I don’t always say them all out loud xD
I like spring, summer and autumn, writing, my job, animals, my partner and friends and hobbies immensely.
If something sounded great, gimme a follow! It’s nice to meet new people!
This is exactly what @notjustbikes warned us about in his driverless car video. When computers take over the driving, the car lobby will try to eliminate speed limits and chase pedestrians and cyclists off the streets. The term Tesla uses is ”speed offset”, implying that computers don’t need speed limits.
“Buying whatever vehicle we like, and driving it wherever and whenever we please without having to think about the consequences for other people, has become normalised and ingrained across our society over decades.”
Having got soaked again today collecting my veg box, I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to buy one.
It would mainly be used for shopping trips and bike commuting (20-30 minute journeys) on a folding bike (a Viking EasyStreet). It would also need to cope with Welsh rain cos I live in #Abertawe!
Recommendations, anecdotes and alternative suggestions welcome 🤗

Pecson Leads 1-2-3 PHI Duathlon Finish In Singapore
Maynard Pecson bounced back remarkably from a dismal showing in the national age group duathlon championships two weeks back by landing on top of the heap in the duathlon event of Singapore T100 Triathlon.
Franklin Yee, Pecson’s erstwhile tormentor, trailed in 2nd overall with Robin Banados of Go For Gold completing the podium finish.
Top Filipina duathlete Merry Joy Trupa was dominant from start to finish among the females as she claimed 1st place overall and the gold medal in the female 20-24 age category.
Pia in Action (PIA) and the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) sponsored the Team Philippines.
Pecson stowed the gold in the 25-29 bracket with Yee adding another gold in 20-24 category.
Pecson covered the 6K run/32k bike/3K grind in 1 hour 26 minutes and 28 seconds (splits: 21:26/ 51:45/11:53).
Yee checked in at 1:29:09 and Cebuano Banados (, also backed by Go-for-Gold program of Jeremy Go, 1:34:53).
Trupa clocked one hour 35 minutes and 56 seconds in outstripping all but 10 of the close to 600 hopefuls.

I think that on the recumbent bike with the support at your back your feet can push on the pedals with far more force than you can on an upright bike, where the force on the pedals is limited to your weight. More force = better hill climbing.
I've never really lusted after a recumbent bike, but there's Nemesis Hill in St. Jacobs that this bike would easily defeat.

That was my task for last weekend. But there's still tomorrow to get it done.
If only the weather was nicer. It's been bright and sunny in the middle of the week, but weekends have been cold and rainy and miserable. Not conducive to cycle maintenance.

Q7. Is there someone in your community who’s a very quiet bike superstar? I just discovered one in my town a week ago. I’ve provided a photo as a clue.
Q3. How do you keep toes warm when riding a bike? This morning was cold, but not crazy: ~5C, and not raining. I had on thick "water proof" long socks. But my toes still got very cold. The obvious (but expensive) option would be shoes that are intentionally less ventilated. Is that going to make enough of a difference?
@Pionir added: how does this change for flat pedals vs clipless?
Q4. Which bar bag is good for carrying a camera? E.g. With Cushioning/padding built into the bag Easy access to the camera
I've previously used a Topeak trunk back (on a pannier rack) and wrapped my DSLR in bubble wrap. Fine for when I stop but a pita for quick snaps while riding... because I have to stop.

Q5. I've wanted to attend #Spezi2026 ever since I first heard of it. In these days of most people buying things online, what is it you'd want to get out of a cycle show or have gotten out of a cycle show? How many, if any, have you attended and which?
Today I was digging through crates at Bike Kitchen, looking for a decent kickstand. And it raised a couple questions:
Q2a. #LBS which build up frames are cool, recycle hardware, and teach people to DIY. Do you know of one locally? Q2b. I am still looking for the perfect two-leg kickstand. Any recommendations?
Seeeing that the shitheads who run New Jersey have passed a law requiring a license and registration to ride ANY e-bike anywhere in the state.
From my perspective, this is a total ban, and the answer is total defiance and zero compliance.
Two approaches exist:
For communities: pack up, ride in defiance like the ATV and dirt bike kids to in DC. Force the cops to "dogfight" like fighter pilots if they want to stop anyone. The whole pack defends itself from cops, relying on bike handling and superior skills plus the effects of urban traffic blocking police cars and heavy motorcycles from pursuing.
When I am in DC, I always cheer for these kids when I see them. They push the frontline of vehicle licensing and registration back from us bikers and e-bikers, so I consider them allied troops deployed further foreward than myself.
Years ago I saw a video of a DC bike or motorcycle cop trying to jump from his machine onto one of these riders, only to "faceplant" flat on the pavement after missing his jump. The kids rode off laughing, asking no quarter and giving none.
For individuals:
disguise a homemade E-bike as a touring bike. Panniers hide the batteries and a rear motor is concealed behind a big disc brake on one side and a large big cog on the other side.
It is even possible (this is been done to cheat in bike racing) to hide a motor in the seat tube driving the bottom bracket spindle through a bevel gear.
Some of the large motors used in radio controlled model aircraft could work well for this, and fit into the seat tube or into a modified down tube of something like an old Cannondale frame.
If you want a throttle, disguise it as a bell. If you want a display, disguise it as a bike computer.
Batteries and controllers go into panniers, a touring bike will be ignored by the local cop thugs. You are building a stealth bike, designed to penetrate hostile territory and defeat New Jersey's policing. Take the panniers in when you go inside, leave no evidence for city/county thugs with trucks stealing locked bikes if it comes to that. Also consider using the "skunk lock" a bike lock that releases an incredibly foul odorant if cut or a homemade version therof.
In both cases: FUCK the police, FUCK 12, FUCK licensing, and FUCK registration! Fuck the New Jersey statehouse and the lobbyists they rode in on while we are at it. They can all breathe car exhaust.
I speak as one who operated the unlicensed pirate radio station WSQT Guerilla Radio for almost ten years in DC.
This is rather like pirate radio in fact: if you don't have a broadcast license the FCC cannot collect those huge fines for broadcasting without a license. An estimated 90% of Federal fines BTW are never paid.
Beginning in one year when the "grace period" expires, the penalty for defying this will be a $50 ticket-but cops might try arresting riders who have a suspended driver's license instead of the NO license at all that is optimum for any form of illegal bike riding. ANY traffic stop for ANY offense is also by definition an armed confrontation as cops carry guns and other weapons.
Refusing the pay the ticket if you neither have nor want a drivers license should be safe, but the stops themselves could be highly dangerous. Compliant riders become trackable by Flock etc, a further hazard. Some folks might be forced to move out of New Jersey over this one.

Oh my, Belgian reporter Arnaud Farr manages to turn an article about a pedestrian who's been victim of a violent aggression by a #Brussels taxi driver into a "well that's understandable, there are so many different people on the road these days, and srsly you shouldn't touch people's cars 'cause poor drivers perceive them as their private homes & don't like it, so it's really the victim's fault" piece. 🤮
Edit (03/04/26): There’s probably more nuance to this story than the article leads us to believe, so for now take it and my own comments with a pinch of salt.
It’s not the taking part, it’s the watching on TV that counts.
I love sport. I always have. Since childhood, I’ve competed at soccer, running, baseball, tennis and pickleball. I’ve also played a lot golf, though not competitively. I’m no longer allowed to do my twice weekly, intense circuit sessions in the gym, but do still work out at home on the treadmill and bike every day.
(Told you I love sport!)
So when the Olympics comes around, I’m in heaven. I sort of leave this world for a couple of weeks and immerse myself in all the sports on offer.
Obviously, with athletics being my ‘best’ sport, I watch everything from the track and field. But I enjoy just as much watching sports that aren’t normally screened into our homes. Handball, for instance. That’s a wonderful sport – so fast.
Netball, I love. And gymnastics – what these talented athletes do just melts my brain!
Cycling too, both road and track.
But this isn’t making for very interesting reading, is it? Me banging on, creating a simple list of sports.
Why does ‘Team GB’ often fail to fulfil its potential when it comes to The Olympic Games? I’ll tell you why. (Uh oh … rant, incoming!)
_____
The Paris Olympic Games of 2024 offered competitors the chance of winning medals in thirty-two sports, though let’s not get too bogged down in debating whether Breaking (break dancing) should be considered a sport. This is an increase of nine events from The Games of the ’70s, with the re-admission of golf and tennis in recent times somewhat diluting the traditional Corinthian spirit by allowing the participation of many mega rich, full-time, sportsmen and women.
Nowadays there is far more emphasis on the professionalism of the competitors.
Fifty-plus years ago, in the days before money became such an open and obvious part of The Olympics, there was, theoretically at least, hope for all of us seeking sporting immortality. One significant hurdle (sorry) lay in our path and prevented our dreams becoming reality. Certainly, in this part of the world.
You see, I grew up in the West of Scotland, around Glasgow. We love our sport in this city … but when I say ‘sport’ that historically meant just football. As a youngster, I played. I watched. I dreamed.
I had a couple of friends who played basketball and a couple of big nutters I knew didn’t mind having their ears turned ‘cauliflower’ and noses flattened through playing rugby. But that wasn’t an Olympic recognised sport in ’72 and ’76.
I was considered a bit eccentric when, at the age of thirteen, in addition to playing football, I also took up athletics (running.) Some girls I was friendly with also took to the track and cross-country, two of them going on to achieve international honours.
But that was it: football, basketball, athletics.
Of the twenty-three sports competed for at The Olympic Games during The Seventies, my friends and I had access to THREE!
Where was the Equestrian centre for us to try out at Dressage, for instance?
Rowing? Sailing? Canoeing? We’d had it drummed into us all our young lives that if we so much as set foot anywhere near the local canal, we’d be grounded, and pocket-money would be withheld for a month.
Handball? What the **** was handball?
Granted, living in Glasgow, access to Fencing and Shooting, in an unofficial capacity, may have been possible … but you take my point.
At Munich in 1972, Great Britain & Northern Ireland placed twelfth overall, winning 18 medals (4 Gold, 5 Silver and 9 Bronze.) In Montreal, four years later, we dropped to thirteenth in the medal table, scoring only 13 in total (3 Gold, 5 Silver and 5 Bronze.)
When you consider the Soviet Union claimed 125 and 99 medals in the respective Games, closely followed by East Germany and USA, it’s not great, is it? It’s true, USSR and the Eastern bloc countries adopted an odd interpretation of the word ’amateur,’ but that’s not necessarily the reason we performed so poorly in comparison.
No, it’s as I alluded to earlier – a lack of training facilities. That, and the sports being considered ‘minority interests’ by the powers that were.
To become the best at any sport, we now appreciate a sportsperson must start young. Back in ’72 and ’76 we simply didn’t have the opportunity to become good at the Olympic-recognised sports.
But we were good at Shove Ha’penny; at Marbles; at Skipping; at Chinese Ropes, and Hopscotch. We were brilliant at British Bulldogs (why is Kabaddi not an Olympic sport?) Dodge Ball and even Hide & Seek.
I can only think the Olympic Association missed a trick there.
Oh, how I’d have loved the opportunity to compete for a gold medal in Ring! Bang! Scoosh!
33rd Subic Bay International Triathlon (SuBIT) All Set For May 2 And 3
Subic Bay International Triathlon (SuBIT)—Southeast Asia’s oldest and longest running standard distance race—rolls on to its 33rd year at the Subic Bay Freeport Zone May 2 and 3.
This edition gains added significance as on top of being billed as 2026 NTT Asia Triathlon Cup it debuts as Asia Triathlon Junior Cup Subic Bay.
Considered one of Asia’s 10 best races, SuBIT has continued to demonstrate the strong partnership between Triathlon Philippines presided by Tom Carrasco, Asia Triathlon Senior Vice President, and Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) under Chairman and Administrator Eduardo Jose Aliño.
Philippine Sports Commission, NTT, Gatorade (official hydration partner), Western Guaranty Corporation, C-Vitt and Subic Bay Travelers Hotel (official race hotel) back up SuBIT.
More than a hundred elite athletes coming from at least 20 countries are expected to not only vie for honors but also scramble for World Triathlon and Asia Triathlon ranking points.
Japan, last year through Takuto Oshima (1:50:25) and Manami Hayashi (2:04:58) regained it’s dominance it last held in 2002 with Dayshaun Ramos (1:54:03, 14th) and Raven Alcoseba 2:14:16, 11th) emerging as top Filipinos.
Last year’s Technical Delegate Darnis Mahmud from Malaysia returns to lead the officiating team once again.
The usual fare of fast, action-packed racing across all levels: draft-legal sprint races for Elite and Junior Elite athletes, alongside Super Trikids (STK), Youth Super Sprint, and Sprint and Standard are on offer.
Elite & Junior Elite Races (AM); STK, Youth & Age Group Briefing (PM) are slated May 2 followed by STK, Youth & Age Group race day. Athletes and Coaches briefing on May 1 usher the races.

Go small, go simple, go now. Wise words spoken by a sailor of the old days. Still, it applies to everything we do in this life. All told we have been living in tiny Airbnb’s almost exclusively for 4 years. We did have an 8 month stint in a hotel to be close to the boat but it was just too simple for us.
A centimeter here, a few degrees there… this bike is fitting better and better every day. Zero would be the number of complaints I have at this point. I should have a Frame bag made but I just can’t commit to it. Bar bags, saddle bags, feed bags, who knows. I always dive in on day one but with this little Kermie bike I just keep slowing down. The frogs awaking is always the first signal of spring. On my first ride with the new Neutrino they sang their song all along my first creekside ramble. Maybe nature has named her for me.

I ride every day now, but first I walk. There is something about walking my dog that is so good for the soul. She sniffs and explores every inch of the village like it was her first time. I feel the same way on my bike. It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve ridden down this trail or that. It’s always new and fun to me. Yesterday I saw a Mink. One day I found a snake in a tree, a whole new level of fear was born with that one. Birds of prey are everywhere. If you look often enough you will see whales splashing around and playing just as hard as I do.
I’ve had my little Neutrino for 6 days now. I made 2 videos about her. Each piece has been unfastened, greased and retorqued to proper spec. None of this needed to be done but that’s how I get to know the workings of each new bike. Unlike the Brompton all parts of the Neutrino are standard making this a super easy bike to work on. Now I need to build an apocalypse kit just in case.

A bicycle node network has a wayfinding system of numbered nodes for recreational #cycling, on a regional/national scale. We have previously shown on https://bikenetwork.dk/ the low bikeability in #Denmark outside of cities, now improved by the new bicycle node network.

Last weekend I took a ride from downtown to Williamsburg in the southwest end of #Kitchener. I’m starting to appreciate the network effects of trail investments: when our downtown cycling grid connects with the citywide trail system, we get exponential growth in usefulness.
On a related note: join me at @Calebdgm’s group bike ride for earth day on April 19th, it’s going to be a blast. A great excuse to dust off your bike from winter storage :)
Edit (03/04/26): There’s probably more nuance to this story than the article leads us to believe, so for now take it and my own comments with a pinch of salt.

Why? Today, following our fav ride route (birdsongs, wildflowers, trees playing w/ sun & shadows), we returned home via our necessary but least fav route (CA SR 68), cautiously & safely.
Then we headed up the lane home. Surprise! We were immediately met by a vehicle smack in center of the road, oblivious to & aimed right at us—despite us being “lit up like a Christmas tree,” as is our habit.
Fortunately, driver didn’t have pedal to the metal; more #speed would’ve meant a different end! We had time to jump off #bike & outa his way.
US: I don’t think you saw me.
HIM: I didn’t! I was looking at my phone. [Points for taking responsibility, not reacting rudely w/ excuses.]
US: I love you, but be careful!
He’s a nice guy, familiar as a guest of another resident on this lane. We don’t think he’ll do it again!
As we tell youth in bike ed, being visible & predictable is one of best ways to keep yourself safe—but can’t protect you from #texting drivers!

Hey there #BikeTooter my friend Barney is leading out another edition of his #Vintage cycle rally in #Cambridge on Saturday 9th May. A perfect opportunity to get dressed up and bring out some of your #cycling esoterica.
There are normally prizes/recogniton for the best outfit, oldest bike (1896 last year, I believe). There'll be a planed, mostly traffic free, route with opportunities for refreshments along the way. Informal fancy dress fun on a bike, come along if you can, all are welcome!
Sepia tinged, vintage stylised poster for the Cambridge Vintage Cycle Rally, 2026 edition on 9th May starting at 1030 from the Museum af Technology. Poster features smiling people riding bikes, beside a river with punts on it and famous Cambrdge sights (Kings College Chapel) in the background.

Video introduction: a white man with blue hair tied in a ponytail, a goatee beard, and stubble, waves to the camera, saying, in an accent representative of various bits of Northern Great Britain: "Hi, I'm Dan Q; I'm not good at giving short introductions so let's really belt this one out. I'm a queer poly geek, blogger, software engineer, founder of a volunteer-run nonprofit, geocacher, geohasher, cyclist, and magician. Say hi!"
Because in the struggle to get everything to fit, I've somehow managed to leave out the stem and stem extender tube. I cannot fit the handlebars. So cannot be ridden. Ce n'est pas un vélo.
Well, we were here for other reasons; I'm set up for walking in the Vercours and I may be able to rent a bike for the day on Monday. Unmotivated though #cycling
E-bikes are a more important development than AI and solve more problems, but they don’t get nearly as much press and investment. This is because Microsoft doesn’t think adding e-bikes to Windows 11 will shield their stock price from market volatility.
I've been with my partner @apzpins for over 16 years, we run a #pinball arcade together as a hobby. We have two elderly #cats who also get shared on here on the occasion.
I play a lot of #VideoGames, especially #RPGs and post about my progress, usually with pictures or videos.
I enjoy #travel, I've been to 13 different countries so far. I also enjoy meeting people from all around the world.
I'm a #chef by profession, I love good #food and great #coffee. I've been working at a student cafe on a uni campus for almost 7 years.
I like #cycling and try to keep some sort of condition with it. We have pretty good cycling routes in my home town. Photo evidence is shared on the occasion.

#Introduction I've been on Mastodon for quite some time now, but under another name. I started a new account because I decided to take a step back from world news, collapse, climate change, hunger, war, fascism and inequality. In short less doom and gloom and a little bit of positive small scale projects that might also inspire or help others.
With this account I'll focus more on my day to day life, the things I do and make.
Of course I sometime still will post concerning subjects that provoke my rage or frustration. Sorry, it's not all moonshine and roses.
Having said that, I've a broad range of subjects that have my interest, so hopefully something useful will stick with you.
From my profile text:
#Collapse aware person, born @ 320 ppm CO2, world population 3.1 billion.
Fighting depression and #sadness by doing some positive and small scale things that might help people.
I've run a sweet training session a couple of days ago It was on the time trial race machine, which makes it easy to run at these speeds. At this point in time the bike has a mountain steering setup which means it doesn't have the commandeurs and time trial handlebars, making the performance even more valuable.
The image displays a digital interface, likely from a cycling app, with a black background and white text. At the top, the time is shown as 20:02:42. Below, there are various metrics: elevation changes of -70 meters and -110 meters, a total distance of 26.035 kilometers, and a total time of 2 hours, 57 minutes, and 52 seconds. The current speed is 0 km/h, and the calories burned are 8,047 kcal. The interface also shows a speedometer with a avg of 8.8 km/h, and a power output of 56.2 watts. The battery level is at 92%, and there are icons for navigation, settings, and other functions. The bottom of the screen features a red button labeled "Bike 1" with a cycling emoji, and additional icons for navigation, settings, and more.

So, I never did a proper #introduction because I am not in to those things, but after browsing the hashtag for few days I decided that maybe this is the time to make my own post.
More specifically I started brewing my own #beer when I was 15, because it was the easiest way to get alcohol at that time. It became my hobby, I moved to #cider only because I couldn't get decent one in store. And after that I worked in #craftbeer brewery.
As for #cycling I am interested in #bikepacking#biketouring#commuterbike and more of a utilitarian cycling. Right now I am touring through Europe on my bike and because I don't have anything other to do I will be doing that for about 6 months.
Sometimes I post in Czech, sometimes in English and I also repost from #lemmy where I moderate @homebrewing
We had another warm sunny day in Carterton. Wandered around the op shops & ate at Aunt Ginger’s Kitchen - yum! I was inspired by the cover on my friends’ daybed, made from tea towels. I plan to make one myself. There’s good quality linen in tea towels, available cheaply at op shops.
My Carterton friend is disabled & gets around on this very stylish e-tricycle 😍
Later we drove back over the hill to Te Whanganui a Tara.
A sun porch enclosed with clear blinds at the back of an old house with the morning sun shining into it. On the left is a single iron bed used as a daybed. It features a duvet cover made of souvenir tea-towels stitched together, and lots of colourful cushions. The bed knobs are repurposed salt and pepper shakers! On the right is an armchair and a small painted dressing table with pot plant and vase of artificial flowers on it.
A bright red electric tricycle parked on the footpath outside a restaurant. On the back it has a large carrying basket lined with fabric featuring cherries. On the front is a smaller wire basket, decorated with a garland of artificial flowers and leaves.

Moving to a new server, so it's another excuse for an #introduction . Hello, schwmae, I'm Vic 👋 He/his, Polish/Silesian/British/Welsh (in order of appearance). I work with #LifelongLearning & #LearningDesign at the Open University, so am always keen to meet & talk #EdTEch I relax with #cycling#running#jazz & #photography If you're in South Wales, give me a hallo - always a joy to meet (also into #SnailMail#PenPals ) Expect mix of writing, photos, sh*tposts & bants. Good to be back.
"I've been online for longer than the internet. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. 56k modems on fire in the light of Usenet. I watched IRC forks glitter in the dark near the Gateway 3000. All those moments will be lost in slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify."
I shamelessly stole that quote from a random post I saw on here. It perfectly captures my online existence and what I think about the current state of it.
I've been online since the mid 90's, usually through friends computers at first, before that I'd been tinkering with computers since I was about 12yrs old, from things like Commodore 64's & Amiga's as well as Atari ST's. I got my first PC with a modem in 98, I've been building my own PC's since 2000, but I'd been upgrading systems in some way since at least 91.
I remember the hope and promise it held and how that's been ripped away from everyone for lies, tracking, privacy invasion and a subscription to everything. If they could force you into a subscription service to breathe... they would.
I've been on Masto for 3yrs or so now. I deleted facebook in 2011, twitter in 2018 (not that I really ever used it) and shunned all others with the exception of G+ when that was good between 2011-2015.
Mastodon is my only social media platform now. I switched to beige.party because my previous instance went through a period of instability and was constantly down for a day or two at least 2 or 3 times a month.
I've realised I haven't been entirely honest with the Fediverse as a whole as to my own self, suppressing and self-censoring to feel more included, so I should probably start again with the #Introductions hashtag.
Bonjour! I’m Ryan, new to mstdn.games but not to mastodon itself.
About me: I live in the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. I am #bisexual, working towards bilingualism, and work in adult education.
I am most definitely found being busy. I spend copious amounts of time #cycling, mostly riding and racing #MTB but also enjoying time on the road bike and commuting by bike to work when possible. I also coach middle/high schoool MTB racing and have spent several years on the board of our local MTB advocacy group.
New account, new #introduction (okay actually the same introduction, pasted):
I'm Lewis, a software engineer from Manchester, UK. I like building dumb stuff for the web, occasionally breaking my personal site, and sometimes being productive.
I also like to post about #cycling, and progress with a bike restoration/maintenance project I decided to spend all of my money on.
It's time for an #introduction post! Yes, I've been on Mastodon for a while, but decided that I should really be on my own (private, maybe with some friends) instance. So as of today, I am @jarjan
My #interests are diverse, but I'll try a little list:
A row of garlic bulbs laying on top of the dirt ready for planting. There is a kneeling pad on the side of the row, and a small plot of arugula at the end of the row.
Given that I've just moved servers from @Tech.lgbt to @Lgbtqia.space, it's time for me to give you another Introduction!
I'm Nikki, an #ExPat Brit (who is half Canadian and now a U.S. Citizen) living just west of #PDX, Portland, OR.
As a #trans and #queer person growing up in the 1980s and 90s, Music became a much-needed escape from the real world, and I ended up attending #GSMD in London and becoming a professional #Oboist and #MusicTeacher.
In 2010 I changed career. I'm the owner and co-presenter of @show, where we try to help the world become cleaner, greener, safer, smarter and more equitable through greener transportation and clean energy. (@Aminorjourney@mastodon.transportevolved.com is my work account).
I'm a total #Nerd, and I enjoy #cycling, RetroComputing, #OpenSource and much more. I'm married to the amazing @amerikate, and I love to #Garden. I have #Chickens, #Dogs, want #Goats, and I'm sometimes found at your local #Comicon or #Furcon dressed as @QueenieDeerhart, @ChimichangaFox, and others!

#Introduction in English now. I am senior lecturer at the Université de Poitiers in Contemporary British Studies. I specialise in contemporary British politics, human rights and British political institutions. I'm interested in #pedagogy I love #music, especially all forms of rock (including but not limited to #metal#stonerrock) I play the bass guitar. I toot way too much about my child, who is uniquely amazing. Other interests include: #cycling#embroidery#knitting#ReadMoreWomen

The Crawford Art Gallery, a 360° slitscan (2022) I made while #cycling around the periphery of the galley and Cork Opera House. I love the embodied wobbles where I turned the corners and cycled around obstacles.
A circular slitscan photograph of the complete exterior of the Crawford Art Gallery / Cork Opera House block created by slowly cycling around the block while recording the image to the side of my bicycle. The slitscan is arranged around a ring, representing the 360 degree circuit.
I just stepped down from #administration work, so I’m in this strange time where I’m weighing what to do going forward with regard to #research and #writing. That said, I love #teaching; it’s the students that make everything worth it.
I love #reading a lot. I basically turned the living room in my house in my own little #library.
Does your bicycle need a hug? I'm a retired bicycle mechanic ready to answer mechanical questions about most bicycles. I last worked in a bike shop in the 1990s and more recently I do charity work on bikes, so I am pretty good at coaching people through low cost repairs. I also know some things about indoor smart trainers. #RepairCafe#Cycling#BikeTooter#Zwift
In real life: I hang out with my school's student theatre club, the RIT Players. I like #improv, #cycling, #racquetball, #transit, and traveling. I love my family.
Hi! I'm an IRL #Introvert that's passionate about all things #Tech. I run #Linux at home and love playing with new tech. I also like fixing and repurposing old devices to reduce #Ewaste.
I graduated in 2022 with associate degrees in Network Systems Administration and Information System Security. I'm currently working for a distributor as part of a small team providing managed IT services. Still learning the full capabilities of #M365, but I do consider myself a #SysAdmin.
I love listening to #Audiobooks or a good #Podcast while #Cycling in the warmer months. If I lived closer to the city, I'd love to #Bike more than I drive.
After ~2 months here, I love how genuine it feels but I often forget to use #Hashtags in my posts. This intro post feels like it might have too many, oh well.
Just realizing that my intro post got lost when @SDF had a server hiccup a few weeks back.
Intro quick version- human and cat wrangler. Human side- emotional support human for an #alzheimers patient. Cat side- hospice, medical, kitten foster for #AustinPetsAlive.
I also love to read speculative fiction (#scifi & #fantasy), and learn neat facts about words (#etymology). See my spouse's blog over at http://somuchbible.com for Hebrew and Greek word studies!
And, I will talk about ancient #Rome at the drop of a hat. I do enjoy geeking out over #history! #Introduction
#Introduction of my #bicycles. The Batavus Competition with 7-speed 105 I bought when I finished school, instead of getting my driver's licence. Later I splurged on a custom alu frame with Ultegra, the blue one with red Mavic wheels, from Hagen in Haarlem. Now I have an alu Canyon, still Ultegra but luckily much better wheels... On a parallel timeline, I had a Giant "ATB" hybrid-MTB thingie with Gripshift, but now a proper one with suspension fork, phew. #cycling#velophant#nonprocycling
Two racing bicycles leaned against the wooden post with col sign for the Col de la Madone (925 m) near Nice, France. The bike in front is darkish blue with orange bar tape, red wheels, green tyres, a black saddle and two transparent water bottles. My surname is on the top tube near the seat post.
A composite of two photos, each with a Giant (not large but the brand) MTB leaned against something. On top an older red bike against a wood and barbed wire fence with a small herd of curious cows right behind it. At the bottom a newer red, blue and black bike against a wire mesh fence on the former airfield Soesterberg. It looks like a very wide, straight road.
A bright orange Canyon racing bicycle leaned against a wooden bridge over a winding canal on Groeneveld estate in Baarn, Netherlands. The bike has white bar tape, white pedals, a white saddle and one black bottle. It has a Shimano Ultegra group but Campagnolo Eurus wheels. It is a sunny day with reflections of a few clouds in the water. The trees are bare but the grass is green.
A composite photo of two bicycles. On top, an old Batavus racing bicycle leaned against the large window-to-the-ground of a holiday home. The frame is green and white with red and yellow accents. Black bar tape, saddle and toeclip pedals. At the bottom, black omafiets decorated with bright orange tape and stickers, rested on its kickstand next to a "toadstool" cycling path sign. Two arrows on another cycling sign point to a winding gravel road onto the moor at Hilversum, Netherlands. It is spring with sun and fresh green leaves on the trees.
Short #introduction: Trained in #polsci and Chinese studies, most of my professional life has been devoted to analyzing state-society relations in #RuralChina (currently @ #UniFr). This is not the time to enter my field. I also have a knack for computers and the outdoors. Learning #Emacs was my covid-19 project and my only regret is that I did not do this earlier (the ultimate #zettelkasten!). I recharge by #kayaking, #running and #cycling. Toots could be in English, German or Chinese. #neuhier
Etiquette appears to include an #introduction. Hi. Hello. How do you do? I'm Hollis. I used to make freeware #DOS games. Then I got older. Now I wait to retire so I can... make freeware DOS games? Professional #webdev & #devsec. Healthy #horror appetite born of unsupervised access to 80s VHS rental. #NewEngland. Sometimes I take my #motorbike to find #cryptids at night, later #writing about it in #nanowrimo
A white-faced lucky licks the author's chin. Author is wearing sunglasses, orange buff, red jacket, green hello kitty cycling cap. Backdrop of scrubby cliffs under a cloudy blue sky.
#introduction I'm a US Air Force veteran, US Air Force Academy Graduate, and have a strange career path: Programmer, biochemist, propellant/nerve agent/coatings chemist, embedded/sw/security engineer. I've started companies in my past, but no real wins yet. I was the organizer of DC505 and ABQpy, and am a member of #VeteransForPeace.
I live in Ottawa, Canada, and work in higher ed. I enjoy getting mad at the news, cooking, and riding my bike. For the last year, I’ve been taking classes and watching c-dramas to learn my heritage language. I like reading comics and fantasy novels, and I play RPGs as much as I can.
👋 I'm Olivier Forget (you can call me Oliver), I'm part #Canadian, part #French, and US born. Grew up with a passion for #aviation, and #space. I was an #aerospace engineer for a while then started writing #software for a living.
Currently I'm building #dropserver which aims to give you a little place on the internet where you can easily run your own apps for your personal use.
#Introduction posts seem to play a big part in the culture here so, while I tend to post infrequently, I'll jump in:
My interests revolve around tech, mainly #infosec and #SoftwareDev, but given that I spend workdays in front of a computer, I like to keep that balanced with non-tech stuff in my spare time: #cycling, #gardening, hanging out with my #dog and such.
Aspiring Gaeilgeoir, recreational cyclist, hiker, dog wrangler. I like traffic lights.
I've worked as a developer, architect, consultant, chief technologist and various types of management, almost always focused on data systems. Post sabbatical, I am contemplating looking for work in security/privacy/digital rights.
Keep forgetting this important step, so it's pinned on my profile page.
Down to earth, vegetable grower, partially vegetarian. Interests are sustainability, climate change, countryside & nature, and live music. Trying to stay fit for life!
#introduction Hello, I'm probably going to be mainly posting / tooting about Cycling and Music and Cats and Devon and Jam Making and Bread Baking as well as being a late diagnosed Dyslexic. I've been hereabouts before, let's see how it goes this time.
#Introduction is still daunting. I love and have worked in #Libraries, enjoy #Art, #Cycling, #Baking. I overshare and talk a lot. I know a fair amount about #FoodAllergies. Mother of very creative grown children, one in usability, one in small L.A. studio. Looking forward to visiting family in Dublin and Cork. #Irish until I was 10. Very distracted and see faces in things, dragons in clouds.
On workdays I'm working as a #ruby#developer as well as a #WorksCouncil member. Oh yeah, I'm also enjoy living with #adhd and may share a bit about its challenges from time to time 😅
I spread myself a bit in the fediverse - This is my cozy account (please don't be sad if I don't follow you back from here, I may do that from one of my other accounts as I see fit) - Then there's my political account @acid@ohai.social where you may also see me posting in German. - For enjoying art and occasionally posting some of my own there's @acid@mastodon.art - and for an exclusive circle there's my private account experiment @acid@chaos.social
Hello Mastodon, I figured I would wait a few days before an #introduction to try to get the lie of the Mastodon terrain.
I am originally from #yorkshire in the UK but emigrated to #canberra, #australia when I was a teen and, with a couple of breaks for good behaviour, I've lived here ever since.
I'm married to the love of my life and have two teenage children who drive me insane.
I'm a part of the #twittermigration, looking for a place to make some connections, learn some things and explore my interests without the awful cacophany of those other socials.
I guess I need to introduce myself. My daily driver is a #linux machine - I work in #DevOps - I'm mainly interested in #cycling, #walking, #news, #tech, and #films. I'm not even sure these tags will work here 🙂
Hello #fediverse, this is the embarrassing first toot that I will cringe about later. I've read enough of the #feditips to say sorry in advance for all the breaches of etiquette. I've joined as part of the #twittermigration and I'm optimistic and curious about this place.
So many new people here - time for a proper #introduction:
I’m Rico and I have two passions: Building #iOS apps and #cycling. Some time ago I combined them and since then I've been building The Surge for indoor training.
In the process I've probably seen and ... solved more or less every #swiftui problem. I’m also quite familiar with CoreBluetooth and all sports-related GATTs
I post on topics like Xcode (bugs), latest findings on abstruse APIs and of course bikes and smart trainers.
I came here from Twitter, and still have a present there (who knows how long for). As I am still new here, here are a few of the things I am interested in, and I'm likely to toot about, in no particular order:
Recently I've been doing free bike repair, litter picking, tech help at the South Burlington Public Library, repair cafe events, and volunteering at food banks. I trained at United Bicycle Institute, worked in bike shops, and later for technology companies. Originally from Ashland, Oregon, I live in Shelburne, Vermont.
Hey everyone - #introduction. Lived in the Bay Area and worked in tech since 1988. Love #cycling, #traveling, #outdoors, and #live-music. Happy to be a part of a new and growing online community. Passionate about not letting the fascists win.
Hi oceanplayground and Mastodon! I'm ivanvector, a fortysomething white cis male payroll accountant and occasional truck driver from Ontario living in Prince Edward Island.
Intro post: #chicago dad into #cycling, #cubs, #urbanism, #chicagopolitics. On track to bike about 1500 miles in 2022. Day job: head of product at Augintel, which uses #nlp to mine insights from patient notes, to help clinicians in social services and health care better understand and serve their clients. Spent 10 years in #nyc. Born/raised in #Iowa.
I'm interested in how people reflect on their #learning. What do #scholars learn academically and personally from teaching? What do #students think they learn from different types of education? How can a #reflective start help students' transition into higher education? I work as assistant professor at Utrecht University, the Netherlands. I enjoy #gardening (talking about learning!), #reading, and #cycling along #rivers.
Central NJ NE Wisconsin Orange County CA San Fernando Valley Boston Mountain View SF Sunnyvale
And that's why I'm here to stay.
There's a lot I love about SF, but it's too cool (climatologically) for me. Sunnyvale and the South Bay don't have that city vibe. But I prefer the weather here. And it's safer for #cycling.
I'm a software developer from #Tampere, #Finland 🇫🇮. I've worked on full stack #Python and #JavaScript / #TypeScript projects for around 10 years, on my free time I use #Elixir (hope in the future at work too!).
My main hobby project is @codestats, a free programming stats project. Outside coding, I enjoy #geocaching, #cycling (all commutes with #ebike), and nowadays playing on #SteamDeck.

Right now enjoying a porter from Black Storm Brewery. If you ever find yourself in #Newcastle or perhaps taking the boat from Newcastle to IJmuiden, pay them a visit. They are located close to the port, and serve and sell some fine beers. When me and a friend were heading home after #cycling the #NC500 in Schotland I came across them while waiting for the boat and browsing the area. Good times!
Re-doing my #introduction now since I'm trying to be here a bit more ...
G'day I'm Nick, from the NE suburbs of #Melbourne , Australia.
I work as an #opensource#developer (mostly #python) doing remote work for various clients, and I'm also interested in #retrocomputing or, as I like to call it, computers back when I was a kid.
I'm into #cycling (slowly) and working up to doing some #cycletouring miles around Victoria this summer, and eventually elsewhere in the world.
I'm into #music generally and I'm (also slowly) learning to play #ukulele and learning a bit of music theory along the way.
I'm also doing some set design & construction for a #musicaltheatre group my daughters & their friends all seem to be in!
I'll probably be posting about those things more than work, tbqh. Older stuff, mostly tech-related, is on my blog at https://nick.zoic.org/
#introductions. See replies for further info please! (1/3)
Welcome to my social medium!
By day, I do computer verification (you might even say aggressive mechanization) of #math in the Lean prover because it allows me to demand a gender-neutral title (call me Hx dr. if you want to!). (I don't post too much about it on here, scientific papers tend to take all my writing energy.) By night I do #osdev. I like #cycling in nature and befriending #crows. I also know a bit of #linguistics.
I really like explaining concepts — feel free to ask any question (esp. mathematics / theoretical comp sci). Replies to toots are always welcome. You can steal anything I post if it's not overtly personal.
Hey Everybody, just a quick #introduction on my fresh @Mastodon account. I'm Jan-Wessel, currently Lecturer interaction design & design research in Leeuwarden NL, at NHL Stenden University and PhD candidate at Groningen University. Keywords: #design#arts, #cycling#nature#bassguitar and #metal
#Introduction post! I live and work in Denmark. I have previously lived in the Netherlands, Italy, the US and France (that last one is also what my passport says I'm from). I have a small plot of land where with my partner we are trying to restore a #woodland. I sew a lot and am passionate about #SustainableFashion. I enjoy #cycling to work and for fun, but never for speed or winning races. Finally, I read a lot of #books, fiction and non-fiction, and do often judge a book by its cover.
![A cyclist wearing a helmet, jacket, shorts, and a backpack rides a blue Foodora‑branded rental bike along a sidewalk bordered by green hedges and trees.
