Have you ever seen a bike lane sweeper - pulled behind a bike?
Volunteers in Kirkland have a new tool that attaches to the back of an e-bike. It's good for protected bike lanes, sidewalks, and narrow trails.

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

Being able to repair, replace, and maintain your mode of transportation is vital to your mobility independence.
Compared to the costs associated with automotive tools and specialty equipment, working on your bicycle is relatively inexpensive.
