I first wanted to call this post “When ‘Bots Attack” or something similarly FOX-esque, but couldn’t bring myself to do it. There’s been plenty of alarmism about robots recently, and swarming robots are particularly juicy targets for people looking to stir up controversy since there seems to be something particularly loathsome and/or frightening to us about swarming creatures in general.
If you are interested in building your own barbecue grill or smoker, you should find plenty of inspiration here.
Today, I was trying to think of words that start with the letter “C,” and, after a moment’s reflection, it occurred to me: “Cookie” starts with “C.” Persevering, I then endeavoured to think of other words that start with the letter “C,” and, try though I might, I found myself too distracted by the thought of cookies to think of any other words that start with “C.” Who, indeed, really cares about other words that start with “C?”
We have covered a lot of bike-related content over the years, and a lot of bike-repair-related content. Trouble is, we don’t have a separate repairs-only category, so assembling this round-up required manual cherry-picking from the many pages of our Bicycle category archive.

So this is probably my most scientifically-organized Top 10 to date. I hope you enjoy it. Happy Friday!
What’s this? Women are riding bikes now? When did that happen? What’s next, the demise of the hoop skirt? Becky is poking me in the ribs, now. Apparently, she claims, women have been riding bikes since the 1880s. Huh. I have been out of the loop.

Apparently, CRAFT readership is up among male readers, too. Geez, is nothing sacred?
From garage conversions to hot commercial products, electrified tall bikes to “stealth” electrification, we have covered a lot of electric bike stuff over the years. These are the ten posts that have generated the most traffic since we started collecting data back in 2008. If you’re thinking of undertaking your own homebrew bike electrification, this list should be a pretty good place to start reading. Enjoy!
We have done both gear- and gear-making-related roundups before, but our gear world has turned (bam!) quite a few times since then, and we’ve covered some even hotter gear action in the interim. Someday there’s going to be a gear-roundup roundup. But for now, here’s our top gear content as it stands today:
