A8. Here's my bike earlier in the week at the end of the line. I was riding up a dry stream bed and reached this dry waterfall, no navigable way through or over. So this was the turnaround point. Still, a beautiful ride.

A8: My ride from earlier today on a borrowed bike, taking advantage of unseasonably warm weather, overlooking the Tennessee River.
@ascentale @bikenite but really these are my year end images. Modest, but a good trend.
@ascentale @bikenite A8: The tiny island of Sakushima is a 45km ride and 20-minute ferry ride from the house here in Nagoya. As last year, I rode down on Christmas Eve and spent the night at the guest house Chidori, where an excellent seafood dinner is served.
The island environment is peaceful, and a good getaway from the city. I biked around a little on Christmas Day, and paused to snap this photo near a local temple, of a proud dwelling that has seen better days.

@ascentale @bikenite A8: always love this - remembered to take one actually - i've been enjoying the fall leaves here in San Francisco and after the wind and rain they were all over the bike lanes (as well as some tree branches). I did like the colors though as I rode down the bike lane on Valencia! #BikeNite
@genex @ascentale @bikenite Oh yikes! I white-knuckle my handlebars on wet leaves here in London: they're basically made of soap!
@spacehobo @ascentale @bikenite I probably wasn't super wise but then i think these leaves aren't as slick maybe? I had ridden through similar leaves and it felt OK :)
@ascentale @bikenite A8: I do! I made a rain-tight cargo pod a while ago but it was super rattily so I never used it. This past summer I figured it out (finally - I was approaching it all wrong) and I finally used it for the first time today. Worked a treat, too. Glad I finally have it in amongst my options for real!

@wanderinghermit @ascentale @bikenite Wow, that's ready to shoot Doctor Who _or_ (original) Star Trek. Neat!
Thanks! I was not only enjoying the landscape, I was grooving on camping there for a week and never seeing another human. It's pretty remote.
@wanderinghermit @ascentale @bikenite that's a seriously cool looking bike. I like how the rear carrier is attached
@tregeagle @ascentale @bikenite
Thanks! That's an Old Man Mountain rack, one of the few I know of that attach to a full suspension bike. So far it seems really rugged.
Olive green wasn't a stock color, they were experimenting with new coatings and offered it to me at a discount.
@ascentale @bikenite A8. For aspirational reasons, #Albania is repeating a lot of the same mistakes the US did as far as indulging cars. Here in the capital especially, there are a lot of status games around cars & tons of car washes to keep their natural grime at bay.
So I was amused and happy to see this gent cleaning his e-bike at a car wash to get the winter mud off it. (Also reminds me of the question from last week's #BikeNite )
@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

#bikenite A8:
Unfortunately every photo I've taken this week is of a grandchild which I cannot share publicly.
So I'm posting a bike one from June.
