Riding the Berlin S-Bahn with the EggBeater...

The new owner had another request: She wanted a basket to put her stuff in (she doesn't like to ride with a backpack or saddlebags). As I wanted to check out a nearby goodwill bike workshop anyway, that I recently discovered, I headed there an guess what I found: a basket (for free). With a ton...

Today's test ride was good. She said she likes it better than her other one. From someone who doesn't like to ride bikes this is as good as a compliment you can get... But I ordered some shorter cranks already, as even with the saddle all slammed down she needs to stretch her legs too far...

Thanks. The BB is saved. As you said it was completely dry. I gave it a cleaning and some readjusting and now it runs smoothly! 👍

After I had picked up my score of today, I went at it as soon as I had time. I had to fit this nice crank set to the bike: When I wanted to install the shifter, I realized that that handelbar I had put on yesterday was to thick so I had to swap to the one from the donor bike. I liked the other...

Today I scored a nice crank set for my Mixte Feelings build and decided to pick it up after work. As we still have no car a two hour round trip on the bike was up. To make it fun I took The Wolverine for a spin. During the ride I crossed the Tempelhof airfield twice... Riding in full airplane...

Today I got some time to spend in the basement with Mixte Feelings. I put on the new wheels and tires, a new stem and handlebar, new brake pads, cables and brake levers. I also could save the bottom bracket. All it needed was a bit of cleaning, some new grease and a counter nut on the non drive...

And I got another pic from us on the road... 🤩

It was nice seeing you yesterday night! Your ride looks amazing with the lights! 🤘

Last night was the annual Light Ride in Berlin. It is usually connected to the Festival of Lights where you can admire beautiful projections on many iconic buildings of Berlin. I featured again my IronPig with my little trailer in full nightly protest mode 🤘 My little one came with me and with...

I just can't wrap my mind around the fact, that the Netherlands as the very definition of a flat country has a MOUNTAINbike museum... 🤯

That saddle will hopefully make a good price to finance this project, once I cleaned it up a bit. At the moment it's a bit filthy...

Yesterday I rode again the IronPig to our monthly protest ride. This time with my trailer in nightly protest mode with the banner lighted from the inside. Here you can find a video from yesterdays ride: https://mastodon.social/@radxberg/113244332102919348

As we're getting more rainy days now and I do not want to mess up my protest banner too much with street dirt, I upgraded the trailer with some homemade fenders. To get it done I bought this large (90 liters) bucket. In the DIY shop I picked up a 20" tire from the shelf and took it to the...

Today I rode the IronPig to attend a seminar in another part of Berlin. The weather was cold and wet, so no pictures of the ride. But, and that's a big BUT, with today's ride I crossed for the first time since I'm tracking my rides the threshold of 3000 tracked kilometers in one year! 🤘🚴‍♂️🎉

I would definitely recommend this to anyone, that want's to see a city from a different point(or time) of view. Here are some screenshots from the video my cam took while we were riding...

Not the slightest chance to make my personal deadline. My wife will have to use her old bike then tomorrow... But I at least started to dismantle the donor bike and got some good parts out of it. The wheels will move over to the Mixte (but with smaller tires) Fender, carrier,and saddle go into...

Roll Out this morning was at 5a.m. 9 hours and 98 km later I'm back home. Need a shower now and then get at wrenching...

Visited the campground stash and heading home now taking a shortcut with the ferry...
