I think everywhere with media used to be like this. When I was a bike courier there was always loads of stuff going between film processing places and newspaper and magazine editorial offices. Very exciting just before something was going to press.
These are wonderful
A green fixed gear bike with a very sloping top tube and mustache bars with no tape, locked to a pole in front of an intersection. Chain's a bit slack.
And finally, a functional winter bike to go Xmas shopping on, although winter has taken a bit of a retreat at the moment. #OtttBike
A bicycle wheel in a truing stand. In the background is a red chair with a white cat sleeping on it.
At last, a wheel. The further delays cannot be blamed on the cats.
Wow - this is fantastic.
A small grey cat with white nose, chest and paws stands inside a bicycle wheel truing stand.
Now it's Mischief's turn to be inside the truing stand. At least it's on the floor and the right way up now, so that's progress.
A white cat lying inside a bicycle wheel truing stand that is lying on its side in front of a window. Snow covered ground visible through the window.
Wheel building is delayed because Marzipan is inside the truing stand.
Could you get a close enough result by baking a loaf in a large can, like a coffee can? I've heard of this but never actually tried it. You'd get a round loaf but not the longitudinal corrugations.
Not an essay (so I'm afraid not exactly what you're asking for) but there is quite a bit in Adam Becker's More Everything Forever and he ties it in with various other related movements/tendencies.

And well worth reading — just read it a few months ago.
I'd like a copy. Thank you.
I don't know because I can't find them all to count. I'm pretty sure it's at least six though, definitely if you count the tiny pocket ones
Mundane bike errand - vegetables
All three in the course of a single library visit + (4), the one looking out the window at birds, clouds etc. And when I'm 1 I'm busily and silently reading something that isn't what I came to the library for but it's just so interesting I can't help myself.
Mundane bike errand - cat food
These projects are all fantastic...
Having stayed up past my bedtime last night finishing Bury the Lead I'm happy to see this. I've requested it from the library. I hope they're getting lots of copies because I'm #32 in the queue.
Is this part of the new addition/extension on the back? I don't remember this from when I used to spend a lot of time at Robarts (admittedly a long, long time ago.)

It's the 100th anniversary of this photo, and it still goes harder than anything on the Internet.

After reading this thread I'm afraid (not for the first time) that I mispronounce everything.
Don't worry. I've been hunching for way more than forty years and I'm not dead yet. Think of sitting in weird positions as a form of stretching. It's good for you.
I never actually used one but when I was a bike messenger I'd sometimes have to pick them up at CAA. Seeing the people make them was incredible - they were so fast, drawing lines as though they didn't have to think about the routes at all.
I love this
Esther Simpson is most known for her work with academics fleeing the Nazis. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esther_...
I wonder if DND still has the plans for en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defence... in a dusty filing cabinet. We may need to ready our flying columns for a lightning strike on Grand Falls and Fargo.
I don't think it's contentious to discuss how a huge number of people struggle to integrate enough movement into their daily lives and how regularly pedaling a bike leads to all sorts of physical upsides that on a large scale can have big public-health impacts.
Time for winter tires already? Eek! I suppose I should go rummaging in the tire bin.
Red bike with green-taped drop bars and a front basket leaning against a tipped over table in front of a coffee shop. Sign on the shop reads "Happy Goat Coffee Company" and has a picture of a goat.

#Coffeeneuring #7 - mostly on paths, including some I hadn't been on before. Through Carleton, across Hartwell Locks, through Experimental Farm then further west until I ran out of path. Back along some slightly different paths and had coffee at Happy Goat at Bank and Hopewell. #OttBike
