What's the beat option for non-pneumatic tires?
I just had another tire fail on me and I'm done with pneumatic bike tires. I need suggestions for what to replace my ebike's tires with. I'm considering another pneumatic tube and filling it with spray foam or maybe one of the expensive looking airless tire options but I've never done this before

Looking for recommendations for a cheap/reliable grocery peddler
I'm a relatively new mtber and I live about 1.5 miles from my closest grocery store. I'm looking for a cheap option to take my ass up to the store to grab some groceries as I don't want to take my mtb because i don't want to get it stolen and it's just not an efficient ride.
I don't need anything with storage, as I usually just buy enough to put in my backpack. I'm just looking for something reliable and that gets a decent glide per stroke.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Looking for someone to take over this community
Hi all,
I created this sub before the great reddit migration, when I was exploring kbin. Since then, reddit has exploded, and I'm running a kbin instance on top of lemmy and calckey.
Which is to say that I don't have time to do this community justice, and would love to hand it over to someone who will give it the love that it deserves.
If you're interested, please let me know.

Should I lane split when in slow moving traffic?
I haven't gotten my bike yet, but I've sat through traffic a couple times over the course of this week and I've been thinking. Once I do get on the road with my bike, should I try to move around cars in heavy traffic?
I've seen people conflicted on whether to do this or not, and it is kind of illegal except in like California lol.

For those experienced in this topic, how would I go about getting a bikelane near my neighborhood?
I live really near a downtown area and it's feasible to bike there. Problem is, there are no bike lanes. While I can 100% just ride on the road, a bike line would help a lot and most likely encourage others to ride on the road too.
How would I go about getting a bike lane? Even just a shitty painted lane.

Flats vs Clip less for long distance.
I've been riding clip less all last season and until last week I decided to switch to flats. Last week I decided to switch to flats to see if I can improve ride comfort. I was surprised during my first ride. It felt weird and I maintain the same technique as if I was in clip less minus the pulling up the pedal. I noticed that first couple of rides I was struggling to place my feet, trying to find the "perfect spot" but then I forgot all about it and it became second nature. I didn't do long ride in flats yet but I rode bunch of smaller efforts during the week to combined 378km. I feel like my feet are changing positions during the ride depending on terrain and my saddle position (going up, down or during standing). I believe this change of position allows better comfort. Does anyone have similar experience or its just my bias or poor bike fit?
