@ascentale @seabikeblog @bikenite A7 #BikeNite Obviously a crappy situation, and I guess eBikes just compound the issue of proprietary parts being used across the cycle industry and beyond.
This is US, but i'm curious as to how the EU's Right to Repair Directive (which guarantees 10 years of spare parts) plays out when a company folds.
@ascentale @bikenite #bikenite #Biketooter A8. About this time last year Lea stole the Canyon Neuron I had purchased to replace the beloved Kona that broke in half at the seat tube. She really liked the cushy full suspension and the 1x12 gearing with no front derailleur. It has been hers ever since that first ride. Here is a picture of the headset cap that our friend Missy made her to complete the ensemble.
Am I the only #bikenite tooter with colour matching bike, bags AND coffee maker

Q1. Where are you posting from today? We got a fair amount of rainy riding in this week. How was yours?
You may have heard that American e-bike company, Rad Power Bikes may be going out of business:
Q7. What do you think of the situation, where an e-bike company with many bikes sold and proprietary parts may go out of business?

And our last question of the week:
Q8. Hopefully you've had a good week. Do you have a photo to share from this past week? Cycling-related or not, it's fine either way.

@ascentale @meganL @bikenite Good protected bike lanes & intersections, get more people biking with good infrastructure. If people have good alternatives they're more likely to use them and keep off the sidewalk..
I loved the comment from a recent @TheWarOnCars podcast about how cyclists in Copenhagen don't run lights because there's a bunch of other cyclists waiting and peer dynamics make the difference.
