one of my favorite e-bikes is on closeout sale: www.aventon.com/products/ave.... caveats: only one size available, and a bit heavy at ~62 lb. it's the most popular bike at the e-bike library, and has ~2k miles on it with no issues.

You’re not imagining things—the plums that were in your icebox are *completely gone*. Here’s why that’s bad news: • They were *your plums*, that you were saving for breakfast. That makes this personal for you. • They were *sweet*, so whoever ate them *enjoyed* them. That’s unforgivable.

this is @sallyforsupervisor.bsky.social's first meeting as a supervisor!

In a nation ruled by supremacy and all its many sabotages of the public good, every act of repair is a defiant act. *Every* act of repair is a defiant act.

New transcript: City of Charlottesville | City Council Meeting (including Organizational Meeting), January 5, 2026

Daniel Plainview voice:

Charlottesville/Albemarle folks! Have your ACA premiums risen? Have you downgraded to a plan with higher out-of-pocket costs? I'm working on a story for @cvilleweekly.bsky.social and want to hear from you. DM me or email news at c-ville dot com.

this was @rorystolzenberg.bsky.social's final meeting as a planning commissioner. appropriately, it was a work session on the capital improvement program, an important thing that hardly anybody pays attention to.

thanks @bradjc.bsky.social! the e-bike library is an all-volunteer project with a minimal budget, and donations help us keep the fleet in good shape.

i uh got hacked?

just reading book reviews

funicular!

this isn't a great bike. it probably isn't even a good bike. but it's UL certified and sold by a brick and mortar retailer (it's walmart's house brand), which is pretty good for $300. probably worth a look for a commuter on a tight budget: www.walmart.com/ip/Concord-L...

can't care who this person is, but i am an (((abundance liberal)))

i showed the toddlers hollow knight. "why are you a baby? why are you so tiny and they so big?"

In NJ, in VA, in NYC, it's time to get to work. There are no permanent majorities. There are only moments of time when parties can assemble a majority of voters around a set of ideas. You have to take that moment and run as fast as you can, before the next election breaks your stride.

Come out today at noon and give an e-bike a spin!

Chotiner: I'm going to eat you... Victim: Aaaahhh!! Chotiner: I'm putting you between two big slices of bread.... Victim: Aaagh! Aaagh! Chotiner: And now...I'm covering you with mustard... Victim: No! NO!

Designer: all right Mr. Del Toro here’s those Frankenstein’s monster designs, real sexy just like you asked for. Del Toro: (nodding) this is exactly as sexy as I asked for.

So, for the E-Bike Library, I think I need some software. (This is a specific request for advice.) Basically, the e-bike library is big enough now that we have things slipping through the cracks, and we're adding more volunteers, so we need to have a shared consistent view of work to do. 🧵

Charlottesville’s E-bike Voucher lottery is open again. Sign up today for a chance to get $1000 towards the purchase of an e-bike! #WeekWithoutDriving cvilleebike.com

rip, guess i'm not getting that specialty bread pan for my birthday

Please join our e-bike librarians in celebrating 1,000 tracked* loans!!! This a a monster milestone. We couldn’t have gotten here without our volunteers and the small dollar donations from our community. Now, it’s on to 2,000

Getting an e-bike is just about the best purchase and lifestyle change I’ve ever made. Thank you to all of the users who are biking and advocates who are helping others make the switch. Check out Cville’s e-bike lending library to see for yourself! www.ebikelibrarycville.org 🚲
