Hit 2000 miles on my Tern today! Still going strong - the only maintenance it needed was a rear hub clean and regrease. It would've needed rear brake pads too but I upgraded to Magura's instead!

Now I've worked on enough bikes over the years to consider myself a pretty competent bike mechanic, but I have literally no idea why 4 M6 washers would be included with a brake rotor!?

I feel like this is the most oddly specific torque setting I've ever seen on a bike...

I hit 1000 miles on my Tern Quick Haul Long after owning it just 10 weeks!

I probably should wash this thing at some point!

Thanks to Storm Darragh, today's commute was a lot more challenging than expected!

I've put 114 miles on my Tern Quick Haul Long since I bought it. I've owned it for exactly 1 week and done 2 trips to the park, 1 to a playground, 1 school committee meeting and 4 trips to work!

Rode to the park with the little one today, only to find that half of it was underwater!

My first snowy commute of the winter!

This other cyclist had a close call with this dangerous left hook. Unfortunately, this was one of those rare occasions where I couldn't get a clear frame of the registration plate to report it!

Important decisions have been made. The little one has decided that rainbows are the way forward!

When you ride a bike, people get you bike themed things. That's just the way it is!

Exciting news for my first ever post on Bluesky... I'm now officially an e-bike owner! This week I bought a Tern Quick Haul Long. Planning to use it for shopping, maybe occasional commuting, and for general taking the little one to the park duties. Can't wait!
