Same here, but after having two belt drive bikes for a while now I now trust myself simply feeling the belt for tension.

Indeed

The bike does look more 70s, beat and patched up.

I have a photo of my daughter and a friend, at that age, inside the house wearing their helmets in full concentration working an electric sewing machine.

Blow me

Without bike helmets too!

I love all those smells

Winter cycling scene on a forest road at 800m

I was out for a ride again yesterday, it was a bit snowy on the forest roads heading over the pass at 800m.
Yes I had popsicle toes, a bath afterwards fixed that up.

Commuting in the snow (Utrecht, Netherlands) YouTube video by BicycleDutch

When world events got you down treat yourself to 8 minutes of watching people riding bicycles in the snow in Utrecht. It helps. #bikesky #frostbike

Can you stop and give me a twirl, my good sir? I wish to buy a piece of bread from you 😂

Daily life in Cairo, Egypt - a traditional method of delivering fresh bread by balancing large trays on the head while riding a bicycle. This is a common sight in historic areas of the city.

I was thinking the same thing, a rather large chainring paired with a tiny cog. Loaded with baguettes into a strong headwind would make for a good workout.

Graffiti with touring frankenbike

Perhaps not your typical German graffiti. ‎⁨Bingen am Rhein⁩, ⁨Rhineland⁩, ⁨Germany⁩. After a pause of several decades, in 2017, I began cycle touring again. I’ve been out for increasingly long rides each summer since then.
