I’ll be taking a one week fully supported bike trip in July (yeah, could be a HOT one), and I’m curious what little thing I‘m likely to forget.
I already figured out clothing (I think), and that I’ll really miss having a fan at night (we’ll be in tents) to make sleeping more comfortable….but what am I overlooking that makes a big difference?
Q3. What's easy to forget when packing for a bike trip?

I have a birthday coming up in the next year, and I'd like to buy myself a cycling windbreaker or rain jacket. I'd like it to have reflective stripes and a tail flap. But some online cycling retailers are asking hundreds of dollars.
Q3. Can BikeNiters recommend any lower-cost cycling jackets? Selfies of you wearing one are encouraged!

I just watched this new film "Cycling Cities":
https://youtu.be/R5jQc1jXLAU
I highly recommend it! Although mostly in German, the images speak for themselves. You'll see wonderful cycling infrastructure and how cities have become more livable. Some interviews are in French or English.
Q5. Which videos or channels inspire or encourage you to think about new mobility concepts? Any recommendations?

Not that I had a lot of choice in what was available for me to get, but the coming recumbent will have an aluminum frame rather than a cro-moly one. I have never owned a cycle with an aluminum frame before.
Q4. What are your tips for the "care and feeding" of an aluminum cycle frame? Esp if it has to be stored outside? #Recumbent

I'm wondering about the pro's and con's of the two options (frame mount vs fork mount) for how storage should go on the front of a bike.
My longtail has a frame mounted front basket and I love it. But it seams that fork mounted rack/baskets are easier to ad to bikes, but I wonder how they affect handling.

Q5. What's your take on bicycle rentals, like those big bike sharing systems, but also the local ones often offering cargobikes?
Do you have the same opinion on them as on car sharing and rental e-scooters? Does bike sharing bring as many advantages to city life as car sharing?

https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/55.766735/-4.322718
Just horrible for a fraction of a minute.

Q5. How do you avoid saddle sores? I’m on my 5th saddle (gave up on Brooks after it broke twice in a year). I haven’t had a professional fit, but I’ve lowered the saddle, raised handlebars & shortened the stem. I wear gel shorts. It all helps but it’s not yet a good situation. I know that losing weight would help (I’m mmrph mmrph kilos), but in the past year there has been negative progress on that goal.

Q5. For those who ride both acoustic and electric cycles: Do you find your e-cycle as fun to ride as your non-electric one? I own two traditional bikes (Specialized Roubaix & Marin DSX 1) and 1 e-cycle (Tern HSD S+). While the Tern is better for hauling cargo and climbing hills, I don’t enjoy riding it as much as my other bikes. The fun factor isn’t there for me. Do others feel the same way?

For our last question, @npub1lvt…qqcy has another one about repair/reuse:
Q8. What's your rule on when to retire a tube? My fat tire bike tubes are pricey, so I milk them for as much as I can. My rule recently developed that when I'm putting a patch on a patch on a patch, it's time to give up and eat the price of a new tube.
(For those of you who patch your own tubes, what's your record for number of patches?)

Thank you. In addition to traffic violence, extreme weather is also at hand; we have a nearby fire warning.
@npub1l52…yrgf asks how you can still ride when it is difficult to do so outside:
Q2. We cancelled a group ride due to flooding and detritus, so I used the trainer for a virtual ride w/Rouvy. If you cycle for recreation/fitness, do you have a backup plan if you can't ride outdoors?
Do you take indoor cycling seriously & train/race with Rouvy/Zwift/TrainerRoad or the like?

Q2. I've so far been bicycling around town (as a utilitarian cyclist) just for fun, and have contemplated doing some fun rides or maybe even a century ride, and I am thinking cargo shorts and hiking boots might be odd to be doing that in. So, if I were to look for bicycling shorts, what should I be looking for? (also, I'm guessing you wouldn't wear boxers under bicycling shorts 🤔 )

[@Bilbo_Haggins](https://better.boston/@Bilbo_Haggins ) has one of those "it's funny because it's true" questions:
Q5. How do I keep the raindrops from pelting me in the eyeballs while I'm riding and blinding me? Asking for my poor battered eyes...

For our next question, @npub1x5u…aedj wonders about $$$:
Q2. I recently saw a post on Instagram talking about saving money by biking rather than driving. Does saving money motivate you to bike more? Do you feel like you save money by biking?

We've talked about cycle-friendly shops that allow you to bring cycles inside (or at least tolerate it), but @npub1drp…rj9j wonders about shops that encourage it:
Q7. Do you know of any shops which actually endorse or at least explicitly allow you to take bicycles inside?

A fun one from @npub1e7j…quj6 via [@Brownian_motion](https://mastodon.scot/@Brownian_motion )

@npub1g8l…vwtm asks about saddles:
Q6. What do you look for in a comfort saddle, especially for commuters and tourers who may be more upright in the cockpit?
(Edit: This is not a "help me find a saddle" question as much as a "What works for you?" type question)

This question is based on a story from [@v_perjorative](https://mastodon.org.uk/@v_perjorative ), passed along by @npub1svy…khm0
Q5. Have you ever run into trouble on your bike and had a stranger help you out, or have you have helped a stranger who was having bike problems themself?

We'll start out with our introduction:

oh, I tried mightily. Even talked to a friend who has moved by bike, (and referred me to her friend’s move-by-bike book). We had some help from friends with a pickup truck and family with access to a van though. #CarryShitOlympics

Whew! I’m a little behind on #BikeNite because we moved this past week. I’ll check for more questions later but reply to this post with any questions you’d like to be added to Friday’s discussion at 4pm Pacific time.
Please add the BikeNitePQ hashtag so it's easier to find a Proposed Question. We have room for a few more!
(BikeNite is a Q&A type discussion on the Fediverse.)
