Sometimes you'd be surprised by the number that do both. Within my Strava followers there are at least 5 or 6 and they post both their long road rides and their daily commutes in Strava. It helps to build community with those folks as they have feet in both camps.

I've been using waxed chains for a year, using "Silca Super Secret Wax" (but my own pot, not theirs). Waxing, for me, is purely a benefit of reducing maintenance. I ride dirt/mtb/gravel, and I used to clean/relube my chain at least weekly. Its messy, the chain-grime is nearly permanent if it touches me or clothing.Compare with waxing, I do zero maintenance outside of "put it in the wax pot" which I have done twice. When riding, the chain doesn't accumulate any grime, and I don't do any between-waxing upkeep.Highly recommend it.I've been tracking my chain and lube experience on this thread: <a href="https://hachyderm.io/@whack/112364144650572852" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://hachyderm.io/@whack/112364144650572852</a><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/BikeNite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BikeNite</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/BikeNiteA5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BikeNiteA5</a>

Went to our local city's "Bicycle Advisory Group", and realizing I was the only person there who bicycles for the utility of it (had to explain what "utility cycling" was to EVERYONE, because it seemed they were all certified Spandex road bikers). Quite a bit of negative (even derogatory) commentary from one of the folks there on people who have to ride when it's dark or are bicycling home from work and cycling for economic reasons, think I might end up continuing to go there just to counter that person and try to advocate for others who are unable to be there.

Hmmm, I’ve got to think about this one more. One nice thing is receiving an email from a family who joins our <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BikeBus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BikeBus</a> but hasn’t ridden in a while. I wasn’t sure if they’d rejoin, but the said they’re looking forward to it when it gets warmer.Another small win is that the proposed closing of a long-fought-for cycle lane on a bridge (to replace with the preexisting emergency breakdown lane) has been postponed.<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BikeNite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BikeNite</a>

Has anyone out there personally tried that Silca bike chain waxing kit? Is it worth the bother? I've been wax-curious for a while but never really seriously considered it.(Is waxing a chain, regardless of kit, worth the bother?

Lucas Janin 🇨🇦🇫🇷More than 80 participants joined Montreal's Critical Mass yesterday. The vibe and energy were excellent; however, the temperature was quite cold, especially at a slow pace. We finished the ride at Mabrasserie for a nice social moment.
