A8. I just follow #cycling which gives me lots of toots outside my network. BTW I used to live in Windsor and I never tried to ride my bike. It was too dangerous in the 1980s
@ascentale @ClintonAnderson @bikenite #BikeNite A8. I mostly use #BikeTooter #bicycle #cycling #bicycling and #ebike, all of which are specific, but I also frequently use #urbanism #disability #accessibility #pedestrian #transportation and #transit, in conjunction with anything about #bicycles, because these are all related and intersectional.
@ascentale @ClintonAnderson @bikenite A8. Depending on the subject, I use
#BikeTooter
#Cycling
#Recumbent
#Trike
#CargoQuad
#CargoBike
For location, I use
And the last Q is about hashtags from @ClintonAnderson:
Q8. Which hashtags should we cyclists be using here on Mastodon to best expand our reach & foster connections between us?
If you follow hashtags instead of people, which are best to add?
For example, I try to use
#BikeTooter
#OntarioBikeTooter
#WindsorON
Because that's what I'm interested in, and where.... But I suspect there are others I'm not aware of.
@ai6yr has another impressive project idea:
Q7. I am considering building up a bicycle from a frame (just for the heck of it). MTB.
Re: Wheels: What should consider when buying/scavenging/building a wheel for a mountain bike? (ideally I will use salvage level stuff which I can fix... more for the experience. i.e. if I see a 26 inch wheel with no spokes and hub, should I try to build a wheel, etc.?)

@scottsthoughts asks about something we all need, any recent wins:
Q6. What’s a biking advocacy win you’ve had recently? Whether getting a friend on a bike or supporting new infrastructure, what lead to that success?

@gnomon via @bobjonkman asks:
Q5. Has anyone out there personally tried that Silca bike chain waxing kit? Is it worth the bother? I've been wax-curious for a while but never really seriously considered it.
(Is waxing a chain, regardless of kit, worth the bother? I am also curious but don't need more maintenance tasks.)

@moira asks:
Sodium-Ion batteries are cheaper, more environmentally friendly, safer, and have longer lifespans than Li-ion. Materials to make them are more plentiful - not just sodium, but other components as well.
Downside is that they have ~60% the energy density. (Still well over 4x that of Lead-Acid)
Q4. Could eBikes be a good use case for these?

@MisuseCase asks, via @moira:
Q3. I have pannier bags for my bike and I have backpacks, but since I use my bike to commute to the office sometimes I am considering a convertible pannier/backpack. Does anyone have any recommendations for this kind of thing?
