Strictly for commuting, rechargeable, nothing fancy. Doesn't need insane runtimes, just something reasonable for commuting that I can afford to buy and give several of them away. :)

I want to give away some bike lights. Does anybody have recommendations on some low cost bike lights?

Tasty to snack on radishes

Let's talk bicycle rain ponchos. Do you use one? Any recommendations? in c/bikecommuting@lemmy.ml

I'm seeing many ponchos with hand loops and a waist strap so it doesn't fly up. AFAIK, they are more breathable.

Do you have a link? I'm only seeing regular ponchos, nothing bike-specific.

I would like to ride more in the rain. What are some of this community's preferences around rain ponchos?

Mini bike pump recommendations for bicycle commuting? in c/bikecommuting@lemmy.ml
[–] SoySaucePrinterInk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

I like them for road biking but would prefer a mechanical pump for a commuter bike due to reliability and being able to change infinite flats.

I carry a spare tube, so I need a way to inflate it.

I have had rides ruined because of a friend not carrying a spare tube or a way to inflate it.

This sounds handy, however I'm prioritizing reliability which is hard to beat with a mechanical pump.

Does anyone have any recommendations for tiny bike pumps to keep on my commuter? Durability is preferred, but I don't want to break the bank if it gets stolen.

LiTime has a sale on their LiFePO4 batteries (litime.com)
 

If this type of post isn't allowed, I can take it down. I am not affiliated with LiTime but I like their batteries since seeing Will Prowse's teardowns of them. They have some smaller battery options for DIY projects.

Any oil will work. I used canola.

Companion planting French Breakfast Radishes with my Sugar Snap Peas on the balcony (sh.itjust.works)
 

I repotted my sugar snap peas into a larger upcycled kitty litter container that I found in a dumpster. There was plenty of space, so I added radishes that only take 23 days to mature to maximize my use of space. What are your favourite companion plants?

The solution to my earwig problem (sh.itjust.works)
 

I have had earwigs eating my balcony garden crops, so I decided to try a solution I found online: add 50/50 soy sauce and oil to a container and leave it overnight. It was filled with earwigs the next morning! So I am setting up another trap with an empty tofu dessert container.

That being said, earwigs aren't universally bad. They help decompose plant material in a compost pile. However on my balcony, they were doing more harm than good. The ladybugs can stay :P

Aliexpress recommendations for mounting 10W Renogy Solar Panel to Roof? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'm looking for a small setup that allows the panel to be removed without removing screws from the roof and exposing holes.

I pollinated cherry tomatoes on my balcony with a cotton swab for the first time and it's working well! (sh.itjust.works)
