Looks like a beautiful day for it!
Honestly, couldnât have asked for better weather. Turns out I should go ride my bike more.

sorry donât know, but whatever was an option at the time (~Jan 2021) for Bullitts.
NDS photo is one thing, but locking NDS toward the rackâŚ
Drive side always towards the rack. Was less likely to get bashed by another bike being locked up than by someone on the sidewalk.

NDS toward the rack for life!
Do you walk your bike from the drive side?
Hey you wouldnât happen to still have the picture of pseudome topless in a shark backpack with a recumbent would you?
^Weirdest request of the year so far

hahahahaha, no I donât. That one is lost to the aether
I have had my eyes on the Vado SL for a long time. congrats on that. sucks the shop experience was choppyâŚ
Those are 27.5" right? I want to know what the max tire size you can fit it with.
Yes exactly
Huh. IME peds bumping into my bike locked DS-in would knock the dangler on the rack anyway so if itâs DS-out then at least theyâd have to hit it with something solid to do any damage. And it seems like every time I try to lock DS-in it leans on the chainring or something.
NDS walking side. But take that photo for example. I rode up to the bike rack coming from left to right. I dismounted and without thinking swung the bike around to lock up DS towards rack.
Itâs funny too because 95% of my riding is on a track bike so it really doesnât matter. But still. I even find it awkward to lock up a bike facing the other way if Iâm forced to, like I canât figure out where to put the lock. Itâs dumb but after years of locking up 100+ times a day itâs all muscle memory.

I spin the crank so that it is pointing backwards and then lean the crank arm against the rack uprightâkeeps the shifty bits away from the rack and the frame too unless itâs bumped pretty hard. Cranks get scratched up but thatâs better than the alternative

700c.anual says 42mm max and that seems spot on. Would like a bigger tire but itâs not to be

Finally mounted those challenge tires after getting the front wheel back. They seem fast, but I also rode at 5pm and the shadows + sunglasses had me second guessing lines.
Also, here is a lady bug at my mid-ride beer stop.

Maybe Iâm wrong about this. Iâll try your way, but Iâm skeptical.

Not mine, but my partner just got a new Ripley af today, looks like a bunch of fun and Iâm stoked for her since I think itâll be a great match for her riding style

You are wrong about this.
My wife is also wrong about this, but Iâve given up on talking her into walking on the NDS and have just resigned myself to listening to her complain about getting chain junk on her pants.
