Hardcore. Gives me the warm and fuzzies to know there are people out there who still care and are watching out for all of us…but unfortunately at the same time, you can’t help but be saddened at the seemingly never-ending stream of news related to bicyclist injuries and deaths at the hands of motor vehicle operators.

I’ve had recent interest in building my own rack similar to this so I quite enjoyed peeking through the build process pictures. Looks like some very nice work

Whoa…Sturmey Archer 3spd barcon
Whoa…well hello there. Never expect I’d see it, but it exists apparently, a 3 speed Sturmey Archer bar-end shifter, awesome. The folks over at Soma carry it
Also recently come to my attention and on the same topic, a brifter that works with Shimano Nexus & Alfine 8 speed hubs! (brifter = brake+shifter if I lost some of you there). Made by a company I’ve never previously heard of called Sussex Enterprises and more info here
Lovin all the attention towards internally geared hubs

Some timing for the police to be filming an educational video on taking the lane and to then have some random moron laying on his horn upset to see bicycles on his precious roadway.
We all know this kind of harassment exists everywhere, I’m sure you’ve received it the same as I have, but its nice to have the above evidence on video, especially with the police involved!
