Welcome to #BikeNite on Friday, December 26th!

Thanks for joining our cycle-related stuff. Answer whenever at your convenience. Anyone can join, now or later. Reply to what you like, and boost for visibility.

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?

@ascentale @bikenite A1. Toots from Atlanta as usual. Things were a little rough with having to pick up more slack, but taking off work and (as usual) communicating with the people you live with has made things better. Got a final "ride" to the grocery store in this week which was nice.

A1: Same old, same old, at home after work in the Boston area, warming up after a commute that was long and cold enough to cause ice to form in my water bottle!

@ascentale @bikenite A1 - In Hamburg, Germany, at my mum's. I'm back from a family visit in Lübeck.
Outside, the roads and pavements just froze over, and the 20m from the cars to the front door were difficult.
I had to take my shoes off, actually, and do it on socks.
Happy to report that my pretty new winter tyres had no issues whatsoever, while my sister in my mum's car wasn't able to park properly.

A1. I'm posting from Scottsdale, AZ this week. I came here to resupply for camping and shelter from the rain.

I'm doing well, but I hate the city. Looking forward to getting back out in the desert.

@bikenite A1. I am in Southeastern Pennsylvania today, and am glad to be spending time with family. It’s been good to see family and be on vacation, as I was going a little crazy in the last few weeks. It’s strange to see reminders of the passage of time and sometimes surprising to see what hasn’t changed and to think about how that compares with my memory.

I was able to take a short ride on a bike in the garage. I had fixed it up a bit each year to make it slightly more rideable, and luckily all it needed was some air in the tires.

@ascentale @bikenite On the mid north coast of New South Wales. Cold and rainy here so I went for a ride in sunny Sri Lanka on my trainer, instead.

@ascentale @bikenite A1: sitting comfortably at home in the Hudson Valley as snow pours down. The forecast says 5-10” by midday tomorrow, so not much happening around here.

Kinda wishing I had a fattire bike to experiment with riding in the snow (before it gets icy from traffic)

We have more snow in this part of the country than some of the ski resorts out west.

#bikenite A1:
I'm posting from home in Rochester Minnesota after visiting family out of town.

I am on the mend after a non-COVID upper respiratory ailment and hope to be back on a bike tomorrow after not riding for a week.

@ascentale @bikenite Answering from my usual place in near-Atlanta, GA. I don't really celebrate Christmas, which is good since I had to work the day before and today. It's been *very* slow in the bike shop, so I've been bored at work, but today at least I had a fun single-speed-that-should-not-be-a-single-speed (a fancy Cervelo Caledonia 5) to work on! Everything about this bike is kind of irritating, but it's such a cool weird build that I always have a good time with it anyways.

@ascentale @bikenite A1. In a different place from last December, but not in a different place than last week. Tirana, Albania.

I don't have the holiday blues per se, but I have been having some deep philosophical quandaries. But I'm dry and warm, and enjoying mostly moments of calm so I feel fortunate.

@ascentale @bikenite A1: san francisco as usual - stayed all holidays in the city and doing well. Trying to get on the bike when it isn't dumping rain since it's been wet lately! 🌧️ #BikeNite

@ascentale @bikenite A1: Oh, still in the same usual as usual, (north of) Seattle, in Cascadia.

I am about to go down to my mini-workshop to do some sanding, but it's not bike related and I've participated from there before, so that's not new either. xD
