Bicycle accessories for sale - with pics
by Susan Zelicoff 14 Oct '23

14 Oct '23

I sent an email for the HP ListServe but forgot the pictures. Here it is again but the time with pictures. Various new and used bicycling accessories for sale, plus a bluetooth, wireless waterproof speaker that hooks to hang from a handlebar or just about anything or else stand on its own. Location is in between Shadyside and Oakland but I’m willing to deliver in that area and also Squirrel Hill, East Liberty and Highland Park. Let me know if you want more pictures of any items. 1. Serfas True305 bicycle LED headlight. Black. Quick-release. Fast micro-USB rechargeable lithium ion battery $15 (Model USL-305, retalled for $40-50). So bright, yet so very compact and light weight (4.1 ounces or 116 grams, including the bracket). Includes 2-piece, adjustable mounting handlebar bracket with pivot feature so you can fully expose the release lever when you want to remove the light and take it with you (to prevent its theft or to use as a flashlight). 305 Lumen Output is super bright and lights up street signs far away, including a 180 degree side visibility. Set it to steady light, or else set to blinking by holding down the on/off button briefly. That's easy! Light modes: high, medium, low, and flash. 2. Louis Garneau bike shoe covers, Unisex Size Small, black, New, never worn. $14. Designed to shield your feet against road spray, precipitation, biting wind, and general wintery chills. Hook-and-loop closure . The active ingredient is 2mm of neoprene layered on nylon and PVC. Fits over lugged soles and three-bolt road bike shoes. I wear a women's 9 (EU 40) and these fit my cycling shoes. The size only says Small so I believe they are not mens or Womens but UNIsex. Tall cuff reduces gap between to tights or warmers. Reflective name Garneau adds visibility while pedaling in low-light conditions 3. Knog Oi bicycle bell for handlebar. $14. Sleek, slim design. Black, for larger sized bars. Genius, streamlined design keeps your handlebars uncluttered! And it's only 6 ounces. Integral cable management system gathers your cables without hindering the performance of the bell. Mount opens over the handlebar, so there's no need to slide it on; Simply tighten with a single "High-pitched ring cuts through traffic noise, while the deep harmonic adds long, clear tones. CNC-machined 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum ringer; strong, high-tensile stainless-steel spring is corrosion resistant." The mount is made of strong, reinforced nylon; the bell features anodized finishes. PLEASE, make sure you know where you want to place the bell to know whether this size Large will fit. It comes with some spacers to fit smaller tube diameters but it has a maximum diameter of 32 mm (1.25" diameter max). [NOTE: They also make size small, which fits 22.2mm mountain bike bars (near the grips), BMX and some old commuter bikes. I expect the spacers will NOT take it down to equal the 22mm size Small.] 4. Sigma Sport TRILED quick mount front bicycle light LED. $10. Tool-free mounting; just CLICK to snap the integral mount shut. Extra long burn time120 hrs. Steady or blinking light. Water and splash resistant. Individually adjustable mounting; Extremely simple battery change, 3 x AA batteries. Because it’s battery operated it's easy and immediate to light up again even if you aren't near an outlet. Just replace the batteries. (Does NOT have a USB port, It is NOT rechargeable). 5. CatEye Padrone Wireless Bicycle Computer, face is partially scratched but display still easily visible. $18 Includes computer, mount, sensor and magnet. I scratched the screen in one section long ago, but still found it easy to read because the info is all displayed so large and clearly. Easy to set up instructions/user manual on Cateye's website. Works great. See my photos to see the scratches. I include one factory image photo LAST, so you can see what a display looks like when new. Model CC-PA100W.

Hello neighbors, Sharing the sad news that Roland Ford has passed away, according to posts from his family to his Facebook page. I didn’t know Roland personally but I sure enjoyed line dancing with him in the park. Jazz Sundays won’t be the same without him. Sending condolences to any of Roland’s family and friends in the neighborhood.

Heth's Run in newsletter
by Alyson Bonavoglia 14 Oct '23

14 Oct '23

I just read the article in the HPCC newsletter about the history of the Heth's Run restoration project. Especially for newer residents like me, I highly recommend this piece by David Hance. I was not aware of how long the neighborhood has been working with the city to restore this important natural resource which is currently the zoo parking lot. Nor was I aware of the lack of cooperation by the zoo in these efforts, an institution that claims to prioritize sustainability, as David points out. I read it in the print newsletter and am not seeing how to access October's newsletter online yet, but perhaps a link could be shared.

by Mia Boccella 13 Oct '23

13 Oct '23

Hi Neighbors, Yesterday I went to the reservoir with my guide dog and was reprimanded for the third time. I get tired of having to explain that I am legally blind and that my guide dog is permitted wherever the general public is welcome according to the Americans with Disabilities Act. By sharing stories and improving our awareness life can improve for all. I invite you to join us for this upcoming experience. Life Coach /Yoga program Starts next weekend! This program is for those who are blind or visually impaired as well as family, friends, colleagues, healthcare providers and anyone who would like to connect with the community. I have partnered with Blue Awning Yoga and Wellness in uptown and we are thrilled to be able to offer partial and full scholarships through the Bureau of Blind and Rehabilitation Services. I am attaching a flyer and webpage link with all the details. Please consider joining us or sharing with anyone who might be interested. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Warm regards, Mia www.boccellaproductions.com/events
