Nice! I keep wanting to try bike camping but haven’t ever gotten organized enough to figure it out.

Awesome! What type of boat? I own a banshee and love this video https://youtu.be/zSy3L9q11gk

100%! I need to figure out excuses for using the bike this summer now that there isn’t a school commute 🙃

Nice work putting on 1,000 miles without a commute! Do you mostly use it for shopping then?

Fun tech fact: instead of rotating the pixels when taking a portrait photo a lot of cameras will just add an EXIF tag that says how the photo should rotate. My guess is either:

  • Lemmy, the software running slrpnk.net, doesn't know how to deal with this.
  • Your camera didn't properly add the data

Come join us on slrpnk.net and get some optimism from folks working on the solutions.

I am riding a Tern GSD S00 and have put about 100miles/mo on the bike in the last 18mo for errands and commutes to my 2 kids school.

I love the bike but the maintenance is quite a pain. In particular replacing brake pads is annoying due to all of the accessories. Also, the lock failed and a caliper exploded requiring a warranty replacement.

Cargo ebikes are awesome but it seems the hardware needs to be heavier duty to make maintenance less fussy.
