Sometimes I take a break for a few months, years... even a decade, but I might come back to it. And since I&#39;m still alive there&#39;s a chance I can revisit some hobby that I&#39;ve ignored for years.&#34; 2026-06-15T00:28:50Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsduz0grxwsjx3d3a4fry847pfa8dlcwt3dd0s05qdflwg7cj4fcrczyzqnsyy63sukd7t5dt54dly3u772zmzmvamnznhe394u9j7rzp4dy8255at This is my third attempt at bagels.

It’s not easy to ride with people 15+ years younger than be, and with occasional knee &amp; hip pain, pedal assist will save my ass. <br/><br/>#biking #bikeTooter #ebike<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/126/684/762/501/145/original/f35a776e58e0809a.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-09-01T02:29:58Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0hqpe5m33kg88q7sem30akd8fmve6l2m8g234n5zwkj8yy7cj23szyzqnsyy63sukd7t5dt54dly3u772zmzmvamnznhe394u9j7rzp4dys3l7a7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz5xwn8nzg6wmaqegy8540dx7ztfgsr6f598wqrd8c2fzthfnvy4ssd7cxq'>nevent1q…7cxq</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Will fenders help? 2025-08-28T02:49:58Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsx8hlqe92zafv6f30ts0jqq4tr4z4uzdujlvr9nzk4gpcapevzs8qzyzqnsyy63sukd7t5dt54dly3u772zmzmvamnznhe394u9j7rzp4dy84fkc5 One more test of the Beat Bike, a bike that controls the tempo of a drum machine with your pedaling...<br/><br/>#maker #diy #music #synth #biking #bikeTooter<br/><video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/104/106/861/942/707/original/f4d864fc9faf1cf1.mp4"></video><br/> 2025-08-28T02:49:31Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2mrps4up9vfr92eng5d85w9cfvaqvty4jltz9umrgzfz5kn0ngaczyzqnsyy63sukd7t5dt54dly3u772zmzmvamnznhe394u9j7rzp4dy9cceyl I just learned about rain ponchos for cycling and... what?<br/><br/>#biking #bikeTooter<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/102/945/071/669/393/original/dcdaff4fe074b2ef.jpg"> <br/> 2025-08-27T21:53:43Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsyxhj06pcv72u6czyquwvgfm4d6ptnnxpnt4mjhsaywcpgprhhr0qzyzqnsyy63sukd7t5dt54dly3u772zmzmvamnznhe394u9j7rzp4dyyuvupw Sometimes you forget to measure something precisely but it all still works out in the end.<br/><br/>#3DPrinting #DIY #maker<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/092/487/846/416/754/original/64c26c99a3d49e89.jpg"> <br/> 2025-08-26T01:34:52Z
