Northwestern University Student Research on Bike Locks

Hi Everyone,

I'm a student at Northwestern University working on a class project for NUVention, a class focused on innovation.

We are currently looking at innovative ways to improve upon bike locks. To that end, we put together a short survey I was really hoping you could help with. It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes of your time.

Thanks for the help!

By now, everyone who registered for the B SIG as of Sunday should have received, in addition to the initial email welcoming you to the B SIG, a follow-up email with detailed instructions for Saturday's laps/orientation.

If you've received these emails, you're good to go. (Those who registered after Sunday will be receiving the follow-up email by Wednesday.)

If you ever strip the threads on your crank

I had the unfortunate experience of learning what to do when you strip the pedal threads on a crank. They can actually be repaired.

I was traveling by car with a bike, and failed to reinsert the pedals properly which ended up stripping the crank after a couple of hilly rides. (I actually got to ride in Big Sur for an hour!!!)

You need to find a repair or restoration shop that will drill out the hole and insert a steel thread with adhesive. They need special tools and parts of course. I found such a shop in Vista, Calif. I heard on ebikes that Champion Bikes on Amsterdam and 104 also does this kind of work.

You can see photos of the repair--and also of the really cool vintage restoration shop I found--here:

Hello, I am new to the club and wondering whether additional C groups typically open up in the Spring on the weekends? Both the SIGS and STS for C riders and the wait lists are already closed. Thanks, Patricia
