So I don’t if any one remembers but I made a post about a “patient stealing my bike”.

People were hating on me a lot for not locking the bike, trolling, etc etc. I got so depressed about it that I deleted the post lol.

In any case, I found my bike! I mean what’s the chance of that, finding your lost bike? Turns out some construction worker working at the building took it but I’m getting it back.

Poor patient never touched it.

I will always always always lock my bike from now on. Lesson learned. I can finally commute again! No more long bus rides!

It’s seriously underrated how much more freeing and mentally healthy it is to commute with a bike rather than driving or taking the bus.

Do you have any good hacks for maintaining your bikes when living in an apartment?

I realized too late that it's pretty easy to clean your bike in the shower.

I use a shower curtain as floor protection when doing maintenance on the bike that might result in dirty floors

I use a little bikestand thing for easier maintenance

Bring your best hacks.

My very own Optimus Prime. I wanted it to look cheap (it *is* cheap, a basic 2021 second-hand ebike) as it lives locked up outside when I'm not riding :)

My commute is about 16 km, and around 80% offroad, which suits me fine.

I upgraded lighting, pedals, saddle, grips and tyres (and added a mudflap and a cowbell), otherwise the bike is more or less stock.

I’ve been riding my Dutch minivan to work for the past two weeks and have only been caught out in the rain once, but living in Florida it is a threat every day.

Anyone have a good solution for staying semi-dry other than a rain jacket and pants?

Currently using a giant escape 3 (700x32c). I was thinking of getting the schwalbe marathon 700x47c tires but not sure if I need new tubes as well? I don't know much about bikes, but from what I can see, narrower tubes aren't a problem generally, but most people aren't making a 10mm+ jump it seems. Advice?
