Thought this might be an appropriate pull to help celebrate. 📚

N+1 is a bike/game zine by
@hannahnicklin, with pictures from bikes in games by Pat Ashe.

@bookstodon

The image shows the cover of "N+1," which is described as a bike/game zine. The cover features a minimalist design with a pastel pink background and an illustration of a duck riding a bicycle. The duck is depicted in mid-air, suggesting motion, and there is a shadow cast below the bicycle, giving the impression of the bicycle being airborne. The title "N+1" is prominently displayed at the top in bold red letters, following the mathematical expression "n+1," which often represents a concept of always being able to have one more of something, commonly used in the context of cyclists and their desire for an additional bicycle. Below the illustration, the cover credits "Bike expertise by Hannah Nicklin" and "Bikes from games played by Pat Ashe," indicating that the zine likely contains content related to bicycles within the context of video games, possibly exploring the mechanics, representation, and experiences of cycling in gaming.

    Stop driving WOKE cars and ride a bike like a PATRIOT today

    A meme showing a pickup truck with a communist symbol on the left side and a bicycle with an American flag on the right side. Underneath it says WOKE transit vs. PATRIOT transit Underneath the truck it lists: Needs license/registration so the government can track you Government regularly inspects it to legally drive Legally forces you to pay insurance so they can pay for other people's accidents Fuel needs big government subsidies to stay under $5/gallon Underneath the bike it lists: Not required to register No inspection requirement Bike insurance optional. Not required No need for government subsidies Biking privilege cannot be revoked

    One thing many people don't realize about biking is that it's sometimes an option for people who have trouble walking.

    Bill Walton suffered with pain that made walking arduous, but his bike gave him mobility and joy.

    It was cloudy when I took the bike out for a ride, but it changed to clear blue skies with a very nice sunset.

    Cynics: It's so hard to change things in France. They'll fight and protest against any change.

    Mayor Anne Hidalgo: Hold my wine 🍷. I'm remaking Paris into a cycling capital.

    If you build a great cycling network, people will get out of their cars and you'll have a more vibrant city for it 🚲

    I wish the bike trails in Massachusetts had better maps. What is nearby? Where are the landmarks? I keep trying to get an idea of where there are trails near me but the maps show - it's this area of town, kind of near a river or it's parallel to this road but best of luck finding where to enter. I want to see it on a satellite map. Where can I conveniently (and legally) pick it up?

    I recently got to ride this fun trike at the math museum in NYC. Reading about it further, I learned that “for just about every shape of wheel there’s an appropriate road to produce a smooth ride, and vice versa,” as one article put it.

    2024 Book 1: Utopia for Realists by Rutger Bregman.

    Insightful but ultimately depressing because, despite seeming particularly realistic, it feels like we're even farther away from it ever happening at scale than when this first published in 2014. ☹️

    2024 Book 15: Bicycle/Race: Transportation, Culture, & Resistance by Adonia E. Lugo, PhD

    Part memoir, part case study — Dr. Lugo candidly lays bare the challenges she faced in tackling race's impact on predominantly white advocacy efforts, connecting dots that are relevant way beyond biking. An occasionally frustrating but always insightful read.
