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.?)

@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?

(full Q: mastodon.murkworks.net/@moira/)

MastodonSolarbird :flag_cascadia: (@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net)Oh I thought of a #BikeNitePQ @ascentale@sfba.social - Sodium-Ion batteries are cheaper, more environmentally friendly, safer, and have longer lifespans than Lithium-Ion. The materials to make them are also far more plentiful - not just the sodium, but the other components as well. The downside is that they have like 60% the energy density of Lithium-Ion. (Which is still well over 4x that of Lead-Acid, by contrast.) I'm thiking eBikes in general, and cargo eBikes in particular, a good use case for these batteries. The battery weight would be two-thirds again higher, but that's only for the battery and none of the bike or assist power train, and particularly in cargo bikes, the larger battery size would be a complete nonissue. Thoughts?
