Found this in the bike shop and I have no idea what it goes to. Any ideas? Those are two different threaded rods on either end that can be adjusted separately.

                        A more comfortable and healthier bicycle saddle - who wouldn't want that? The bicycle manufacturing industry does not seem too keen on it.
I wonder if they could successfully market these seats direct to consumers?

In the natural world, what is the probably the most efficient traveler?
Probably a fish like a salmon
Not a horse. Not a bird like a pigeon. And a mouse is surprisingly inefficient
And not a human
But
Put us on a #bicycle and it seems we have the entire natural world beat *and* all of our machines 😲

I took a ride on an Urban Arrow Family Next Pro at the Bicycle Victoria Ebike expo on Saturday at the Brunswick Velodrome.
It was a really nice ride but it's $13,799 AUD

PSA for the day: DO NOT BUY (or let your kids buy) random branded bicycle helmets off Amazon. A lot of them ABSOLUTELY FAIL US safety standards. If you are going to buy a helmet nowadays, buy a MIPS helmet. #bicycles #helmets #bikes #BikeTooter

Swapping brakes and levers
I have a randonneur bike from the 1980ies which still has many of the original parts. As far as i can tell it still has the original calipers and brake levers (shimano 600 ex or something similar, with cel 60 levers that go perpendicular in front of the handlebar; the caliper just says dia compe, it might be a dia compe gran compe 400). The brake shoes have been changed of course, but still the brakes are not very good. Trying to adjust the bowden cables didn't change much.
I'd like to take the bike for a tour across the alps, and am trying to figure out how to improve the brakes for it to feel safe. Does it make sense to change them completely, or should they still do their job well if set up correctly? If they should be changed, what do I need to consider when changing them? Since they are screwed onto the handlebar, would any modern break lever fit? What kind of brake should I get for a good improvement in brake strength if I don't want to go for disc brakes?

I rode 80km last night putting up posters along bike routes in to the Melbourne CBD so people would be informed about the proposed e-bike ban on trains so you better make a submission.

New protected bike lanes on Park St in South Melbourne are really narrow and have been built by taking space from pedestrians and cutting down trees. That's disappointing. It was midnight and I still had people standing and walking in the bike lane so this design is going to be quite frustrating to use.
