And this week's last question, which might become a weekly tradition:

Q8. Do you have a photo to share from a ride or of something cycle-related from the past week? It doesn't have to be anything special. If you'd like to, share one and tell us about it!

@agnes asks:

Q7. I got a professional bike fit the other day, but my body apparently isn’t adjusting, because I’ve developed a bump (not painful, but uncomfortable) on top of the pubis bone/outer edge of the labia majora. I have a triathlon tomorrow so I’ll be riding with my padded shorts and chamois cream, but does anyone have advice, for before/during/after? Red flags, recovery tips… anything is helpful, thank you!

@NilaJones asks:

Q4. What do folks recommend for 20" x 2.25 (or thereabouts) tires, that will take high PSI? That are also easy to install/remove?

Hookworms? Marathons?

Inspired by a question from @DurableAce a while back:

Q3. Did you read paper cycling magazines or catalogs? What did you read and enjoy? (Or do you still now?)

#BikeNiteQ #BikeNite #BikeTooter #Cycling #MastoBikes cc @bikenite

Next question is from @MartyCormack:

Q2. For those who wear cycling jerseys regularly, do you have any with a special pattern, logo, picture or saying that draws attention from other cyclists or people you encounter while wearing? Any positive reactions? Any negative ones? Please tell us why.

@BicycleDutch had an experience recently:

A rail strike turned my trip home from Gdańsk into a 49 km cycling adventure—32°C heat on a basic OV-fiets! I filmed the ride & wrote about ferries, tomatoes, & ice cream. Full story & videos: https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2025/07/02/strikes-heat-and-tomatoes-getting-home-from-gdansk/

Q7. Do you have a story of an unexpected multimodal trip? One with unplanned ice cream?

@DurableAce asks:

Q6. If you go on #CycleTouring or #BikePacking trips over several days or more, what steps do you take to keep your bike and your bags secure when left unattended?

If you use particular products, please identify them. Photos always appreciated. Happy touring!

(This probably applies if you are just running errands too and don't want to remove your bags. What do you do?)

@uxmark asks:

Q5. Here in Ontario, the provincial government’s draconian legislation attacking bike lanes and people who cycle has been declared unconstitutional. What wins have folks seen in their own communities?

@kimu asks:

Q4. I think we’ve talked a lot on #BikeNite about riding in cold & rain, but what are people’s experiences riding in hot weather? What’s the max hot conditions you’ll ride in? How do you make riding work for you in hot weather?

@bobjonkman continues:

Q3. I already have plenty of patches, I just want a tube of rubber solvent. Does anyone sell just that?

[1] My dried-out solvent tube came from a patch kit my grandfather gave me in 1972. I shouldn't be surprised, there're lots of things from 1972 that are dried out.

[2] My self-adhesive patch kit is ~ 30 years old, too. I hope the self-adhesive patches I just bought last at least that long.

#BikeNiteQ #BikeNite #BikeTooter cc @bikenite

@bobjonkman asks:

I got maybe my 2nd flat in 15 yrs last week. Happily, I carry patch kits. Sadly, the solvent dried out in [1] & the self-adhesive patches in the other[2] no longer self-adhered. Went to a couple LBSes to get rubber solvent, but one said "just replace the whole tube." Not eco-friendly. Another sells only self-adhesive patches, but I did get a kit w/a 5ml tube of solvent.

Q2. How do you fix your flats?

And the last question for this week:

Q8. What does your local cycle shop (or a cycle shop nearby that you like) look like? Photos are encouraged!

@cpm asked earlier today:

Q7. Is there a definitive guide to bicycle parking racks/lockups?

due to the sheer size & awkwardness of my very dated longtail cargobike

It's quite rare that I bother with any bike parking, esp when hauling my trailer. I'll feed a meter first.

If bike parking
I park off to the side,
stay out of the way

many opinions why bike parking is bad

Any designs that work very well?
