My new U-lock came with a bracket, but it didn’t work very well. I was inspired by this DIY Bike Lock Holder at instructables.com, but this mount would not work for my lock — the key is inserted into the crosspiece. With a little thought I came up with an inexpensive variation that holds […]

On my way home I pass behind the Somerville Theatre. I see acts loading in pretty often and hear sound checks once in a while. Sometimes I stop to listen for a minute; it’s usually pretty muffled.
