I think this divergent #colorbrewer palette is more appropriate.

I was listening to this week’s Geek Warning from the @escapecollective.bsky.social and thinking about the current trends in cycling and my levels of interest. And speaking of trends, I vibe-coded my thoughts into this R/ggplot plot using Claude 4. #bikesky #cycling #bikepacking #gravel #chainwaxing

Great interview from James Huang with Richard Schwinn about #Gunnar / #Waterford history and what’s next. My 2001 Crosshairs a few years ago at a Metro station in Melbourne on a bike packing ride to Warrnambool. #cycling #gravel #bikepacking

Great news over at @theradavist regarding #gunnarcycles! I’m interested to see how they go with the custom paint options. #gunnarcrosshairs

Great writeup comparing a range of Maxxis #MTB tyres from #flowmountainbike mag. I've ridden most of these and always appreciate more tyre perspectives. My current pick for summer Melbourne singletrack: Rekon MaxxTerra 3C 29x2.6/Rekon Race 29x2.4 (F/R)

Unironically listening to @escapecollective.bsky.social Ronan’s AeroCoach interviews on a ride last night. I see some opportunities for improvement. #aeroiseverything #gravel #dropbarmtb #cycling

There’s a great article on the costs and externalities of electronic shifting at bikepacking.com/plog/cost-of-convenience-wireless-shifting-review. It got me thinking about my drivetrains, especially the simple and versatile Gevenalle shifter. 🐐 #bikepacking #cycling #gravel #dropbarmtb #gevenalle
