As much fun as has been, being off a bike that long in nice weather was a bit disorienting!

The Long Beach bikeshare is a very interesting one. All electronics are on the bike (and solar!), and there is a U-lock and integrated holster. Racks are just dumb metal and for a $2 you can lock to anything. $1 credit if you return a bike to the official rack.

First time using a Sturmey-Archer with a twist shifter but it worked well. Interestingly, it still has the dead zone between 2 and 3, I'd thought that was fixed in modern hubs? Not really a problem though.

Brake levers are inverted which was interesting but worked well. Very enjoyable ride

They say you're supposed to scratch your own itches, so here's my take on a printer-friendly version of the 2026 schedule:

My target here is to fit one day on a double-sided landscape 8.5x11" (on my browser/printer) and it just about squeezes down this way.

Has anybody done a printer-friendly schedule for this year? A web search did not turn up anything.

(yes, I am aware the schedule is subject to change. I will deal with this using the advanced technology of "a pen", if it comes up)

Steno to steno challenge at the lightning talks. WOO for the captioners, thank you all! blobfoxheartcute

(The captioner did get it 99% right, software glitch dropped some of it)
