It’s Micro Monday again. No podcast while I concentrate on moving/house prep.
I’ve been doing a series of roll calls to help enthusiasts find each other. For this Monday, I’m calling on bicycle enthusiasts to halt for a moment and put up your hand in the comments. 🚲
@jean 🚲 enthusiast here, in spite of the accident I had this morning (bike is now a bit broken). Could be just the excuse to buy a bike with disc brakes!
@jean I have 3 bikes so I guess I qualify although the pandemic had put a halt to the office commute for a bit. 🚲
@jean put me on the 🚲 list, but the UK weather has made it difficult to get out this month - too wet & windy 🌧💨
@jean 🙋🏼♀️ I love riding my urban electric bike locally and am looking to ride more further afield. Currently exploring bike tours in Aotearoa New Zealand and also a bike rack for the car.
@jean 👋 🚲 Roadie, but mostly been riding on a trainer indoors due to pandemic and N. MN winters (and falls and springs 😂. Looking forward to getting back outside at least sometimes in the near future.
@jean mountain biker here. Dodging stationary trees is enough of a challenge, so I stay away from the asphalt.
@jean 👋 Love, love, LOVE my hybrid! Unfortunately, my shoulder is still healing, and I don’t trust my range of motion to handle the realities of the road, yet. Soon, though! 🚲
@jean 🚲 👋
I mostly ride my bike for enjoyment and exercise. Since I live in a city, it's typically on paved streets or bike trails near where I live. But, I've been looking to get off-road more and have been thinking about purchasing a mountain bike to ride on off-road trails.
@jean Yes, total bike nut here! I ride almost everyday. Mostly trail riding on a fat bike lately. But I also get out for a bit of pavement/gravel riding too, just not recently.
@jean Hi fellow cyclists! For exercise and transit, and I've started eyeing an ebike to make some of these hills a little easier... 🚲
@jean 🙋🏻♂️MTB and Cross biker here! There is also a Strava group for Microblog here: www.strava.com/clubs/Mic...
@jaheppler I, too, desire an e-bike. My wife says I can ride the perfectly good bike I have. Well, yeah. My first outing a couple weeks ago like to have killed me as I forgot I’m not 12 years old. :) My motorcycle days haunt me, as well, because I want to go faster, faster. I’m too old for that!
@jean 🙋🏼heck yeah! Biking with my kids is one of my great pleasures. Recently added mountain biking to my repertoire as well. Slogging up a hill is critical mental health infrastructure.
@jean I love riding bicycles. I’ve ridden half-way across Canada and have a burning desire to complete the journey. We’ve also ridden through tapioca and rubber plantations in Vietnam, among the tortugas in Galápagos and through abandoned railway tunnels in PA and WI. My favourite rides though are in the Canadian province of Quebec where cars even stop for cyclists!
@jean Somehow I completely missed this before but I’m hoping to become a bicycle enthusiast, so I’ll throw my name in the ring as well.
@jean I'm a bit of a lapsed bicyclist. I plan to get my rig to the shop this year for some proper maintenance. My daughter is learning and would I love to share my joy. My bicycle was an important part of my independance as an early teen, and it's one of the most efficient forms of transport yet devised. 🚲
@jean I've been a bike commuter for the past three years; still have a lot to learn, but I've really enjoyed "the ride" so far!
@jean I’m late to the party, but you can definitely add me to this list! Mainly road riding around the Chiltern Hills in the UK, turbo training a few times a week, and have my first Audax ride in the diary for next month.
@jean « You never regret a bike ride ». Also blogging about bikes and cycling 🚴🏻♂️ in my region @ www.bikinvalais.ch
@jean 🚲I used to bicycle commute regularly on a folding bike. Traded a lovely Brompton for Dahon - less elegant, more comfortable for me.
@jean I’ve re-discovered biking after getting an e-bike in the spring. Rode 250km over the summer. It’s awesome!
@jean I'm rather late to this party, but I love my road bike. I picked up cycling after a knee injury and haven't looked back since. Love riding around the lakes here SE MA.
