The view from the soundsystem bike on tonight's #JoyRide. Excellent fun as ever.

@bicmay #TheWeddingBanquet2025 #AAPI #Movies
I just saw the Wedding Banquet at my local #AMC & this article helps to better inform #KellyMarieTran's performance in it.
However, I don't agree with the author of the article that this film was a remake of the original.
It's an entirely different movie which is only loosely based on the original and should stand in it's own right as a #queer #AsianAmerican #film that serves as a counter point to #JoyRide (2023), which was a mainly #straight Asian American film which also had a uniquely open (for an Asian American film) #sexual perspective.

Joined #Liverpool #JoyRide yesterday evening and had the best time. #cycling
Thank you for letting us know all about it, @amcewen! Who, thinking about it, is the first person I’ve met via mastodon IRL too.

@otfrom @pete @chrisphin get a Rode wireless mic, then you can reuse it as a relay for the soundsystem when your #JoyRide gets too big for just one 
That's what I did 
It's not USB though (well, apart from charging)
Last night the band Stealing Sheep joined us for a special #JoyRide listening party. We played their new album on the soundsystem and everyone decked their bikes out in colourful LEDs (inc. lots of @MCQN_Ltd's My Bike's Got LED kits 
)
They performed from the back of the trike and livestreamed it to their socials (sadly they're not on the Fediverse)
Here's a bit from my phone when we were down at the Pier Head
We had a really good #MYBikesGotLED fitting session last night at @DoESLiverpool This was all in preparation for #StealingSheep band's performance tonight.
We've put a lot of effort into getting people along and make the whole event #Glo for the #GloRide.
The lights were riding out the door as fast as we could fit them.
A bit late for this year, as the deadline for submission is tomorrow, but having just heard of the Liverpool Horizon Film Festival I'm idly wondering what I'd need to do to my #FolkRidingBikes or #JoyRide videos to turn them into something that could be submitted 
Clear skies on last night's #JoyRide meant it was a little chilly down on the river but meant we could do a little star- and planet-gazing too.
Got a bit of a workout on the front-loader delivery bike with soundsystem as I chased the electric lead soundsystem bike to stay in range of the transmitter up hills and round corners.
Nice write-up of the history of our Friday night #JoyRide group bike rides
The Guide Liverpool · Why Liverpool 'joy riders' are coming together to explore the city by bike at nightA group of Liverpool cyclists have become a familiar sight around the city, riding around with music playing as they explore the city at night.
Another ride out for the Rode mic soundsystem extender last night. Kept mostly close to the city centre to ward off the cold.
Here's the view over the city centre from Everton Brow.
Distracting myself while finding supporting material for my @oshwassociation talk proposal as that involves watching old #JoyRide videos 
So my mate Roy, who's one of the #JoyRide crew, has an alternative Christmas single out
All the proceeds go to support Damien John Kelly House; an awesome residential centre for people recovering from addiction (they were the original inspiration for the #JoyRide group rides!)
Given it's #BandcampFriday it'd be the ideal time to buy a copy
Thought I was going to miss last night's #JoyRide, but my work in London was done early so I managed to jump a mid-afternoon train and make it back in time.
Trying out the keyframe zoom/pan in Shotcut. Not perfect, but not terrible for a first try.
Hidden away at a secret location you can only get to by bike, there's a secret hideaway where we popped up a tiny cinema.
Last Friday evening the #JoyRide group ride headed over there, took in tea and bonda cakes delivered by cargo bike and held a viewing of Onboard: the Transcontinental Race.

@MyKomment no, the Mimosa Tea Rooms was the destination. We also went hunting for bears in the park but only (eventually) found their pit
It was a Sunday brunch ride with just three of us from the then-fortnightly #JoyRide group. I created a quick WhatsApp group to arrange meeting times.
And now there's 169 folk in that group and we've mostly supplanted the JoyRides as they're a bit more organised and now happen more sporadically 
When the nights draw in the lights come out.
The full highlights (almost a mixtape as I left in a few full tracks) from Friday's group social #JoyRide with #PelotonLiv
Starting at the uni, over to Aigburth and down to the river; back along that to the Albert Dock; and then a ride through Liverpool ONE and up Bold St back to the start.
Last night's #JoyRide was one of the greats.
Editing down the video footage now, but here's a teaser as we came through the city centre
It's #FreeCADFriday so a good time to share the files for the Rode Wireless GO sleeve with a GoPro mount that @amcewen will be using on one of the #JoyRide group bike rides this evening.
