AUSTIN POSITIONED TO SURPASS AMERICA\u00e2\u20ac\u2122S GREATEST BIKING CITIES<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"\/<\/p>\n

In decisive fashion, 58% of Austin voters cast ballots on November 2 supporting Proposition A, a $7.1 billion public transit expansion and rail line plan, and 67% supported Proposition B, a $460 million active transportation bond meant to expand walking and biking networks throughout the city.<\/p>\n

On their own, each measure has the potential to transform the way Austin residents move around their city. Together, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a surefire way to usher in a new era of mobility throughout the city.<\/p>\n

Project Connect, the transit plan supported by Proposition A, includes a new rail system, a downtown transit tunnel, expanded bus system, the transition to an all-electric fleet, and $300 million for affordable housing and anti-displacement efforts.<\/p>\n

A meager funding proposition by comparison, Proposition B takes the city another step closer to a …<\/p>\n

You Should Hot-Wax Your Bike Chains. Here’s Why.<\/a><\/h2>\n

The used slow cookers at Goodwill presented a dilemma. Should I go with the two-quart Crock-Pot for name-brand reliability and size? Would the small Babycakes Chocolatier get hot enough? Was a rice cooker like a slow cooker?<\/p>\n

Had I been looking for a vessel to actually make food, the choice would have been clear. But I needed one for bicycle chains, which complicated things. Ultimately, I went with the safe choice and brought home the used Crock-Pot. I was ready to experiment with switching from conventional lube to chain wax.<\/p>\n

For most of the history of chain-drive technology, bicycle or otherwise, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve used some kind of lightweight, free-flowing oil for lubrication. Oil penetrates …<\/p>\n

Steady endurance except for those two times i decided to chase some roadies down. Hardtail life with 2.3\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s. Snagged a trophy up a 27sec climb haha. Cool to see that when we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve mashed that path many of times on a proper carbon road bike. Looks like we are getting stronger in CO. Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s goooo\n\"\"\/<\/p>\n
