At least 40% of the results I get for “cycling jacket” have the ugly hi-viz colour. So the brighter garments definetely exist.
The real problem is cars, and the lack of spaces with no cars. Join the groups fighting for better cities/infra in your area, they know what to do.

@ascentale @bikenite A8. This is our family dog, who enjoys riding in the front basket. The basket is attached to the downtube via pipes that fit through larger pipes on the frame, so it holds in via gravity (though I could slip a padlock through to bolt it in place if I wanted). #BikeNite

Our intro:
Q1. Where are you posting from today? It's a holiday #BikeNite, the last of the year, so it might be a little lighter. Are you somewhere different than usual? How are you doing?

And our last question of the week:
Q8. Do you have a year-end photo to share? As usual, cycling-related or not is fine. Tell us about it!

@cpm asks about "Wear Bright Clothes!"
Around here, there have been two severe cyclist:driver collisions after dark along a particularly noxious reach of stroad recently.
Lots of soc media chatter, and >90% heavily in the victim blame camp.
Q7. How is this possible when "bright" winter garments don't really exist?
(And how do we change the framing and conversation?)

@rasterweb asks:
Q6. Have you done a bike fitting? Did you find it helpful?
I've been suffering from leg and back pain for more than a month now and I'm wondering if getting a bike fit might help.
(Four months ago I got a new bike, and then swapped out the handlebars... could that be the cause? I have no idea.)

@hyenachow asks:
Q3. Have you ever had a bad relationship with a bike or a bike part that you should have ended a lot sooner than you did?

A8. I ended my week with a flat tire. If anyone is missing a stud earring, I have it. #BikeNite
It's Saturday! These hashtags have recently been trending each Saturday.

A6 I realized a few years ago that I'd made my winter bike as nearly as I could into a Dutch granny bike without replacing the (old rigid MTB) frame altogether.
So I got a real Dutch granny bike for my next winter bike.
Fenders, fully covered chain, 3 speed hub, and roller brakes. No working parts are exposed to snow and grit. I just don't clean it.

#BikeNite A7:
Bike insurance or bike riders on my homeowners insurance have been way too expensive to justify it. So I've taken to self insuring, taking US$100/month (which is less than the insurance rates quoted) and putting it into a bike savings account. After 3 years you can buy a really nice bike for that.
