I've recently discovered Yehuda Moon & the Kickstand Cyclery, a webcomic about a bicycle shop and its highly opinionated owners. Here's a sample:



I've found the strip for the most part very fun and informative. My favorite character, Thistle Gin, is introduced partway through the first year.

There are a few strips I find problematic (e.g. references to cyclists wanting to reduce weight on their bikes losing weight themselves instead of buying more carbon fiber everything), if only because they can contribute to body image issues folks might already have.

However, if you're interested in a fun bicycle-oriented comic, this one is pretty great. :)

Apologies if you get this in [site community profile] dw_community_promotoo. Just wanted to share that I started a [community profile] bicyclingcommunity. I was at a loss of where I should post my previous entry, and I decided - what the heck, I'll start a bicycling community.

Someone kindly pointed out that there is a [community profile] bicycles  community (oh the variations of that word). (And of course there's [community profile] exercise_every_day ). However, I think different communities can certainly coexist within different niches. Check out the ammended description below:

Open to everyone!

From the description: This community is intended as a safe space for people to share their experiences, questions, concerns, reflections, etc. on bicycling and related activities. Found a bike that makes you drool? Want to share some bicycling pictures? Had a really great/terrible ride? Can't figure out what kind of chamois butter to get to ease your aching rear end? This is the place for you!


I've ammended it to include:

The main goal of this community, however, is to share experiences with bicycling. What was your ride like? What were your best and worst moments? How did it feel to finally finish a 100 mile ride? Why do you cycle

I haven't been posting here much lately, mainly because writing has taken a bit of a back burner at the moment. I spent much of last year barely able to walk due to a neuroma (nerve issue in my foot, omg OW), only to develop plantar fasciitis once the neuroma finally went away. I've had some really great physical therapy, and am pleased to see that I'm developing some muscle. I've been trying to get my movement on as much as possible (in a fibromyalgia-friendly way), because I haven't been able to for so long. So I figure I'll post some exercise-related things here, too.

I learned how to ride a bicycle!
