Bicycles. Punk rock didn't save the world, but it should have. I try to stay on topic, but you're going to get random posts about housing, gardening, preserving/canning, dogs, and baseball.

Why are Visma-Lease a Bike glueing their tubeless tyres into place at the Spring Classics? Old school meets new school as Visma-Lease a Bike mechanics turn to tubular glue for their tubeless tyres, here's why.

Lol. Visma invents tubulars.

Latest Stories | Inside UCR | UC Riverside

UC Riverside is tearing down Bannockburn.

If you came of age in Riverside in the 70s or 80s, you probably spent a lot of time at the Bull 'n' Mouth there.

The show was meant to end after season 5 and the original showrunner left at that point, so you can just stop watching it then.

Any lawyer out who can give me some quick thoughts on something? I know that public officials can't block people from their official social media accounts, but can they block comments on them?

Being pedantic, but it's lower State St. (I'm not sure SB has a road named Main St.)

Interesting history there - they tore down a chunk of downtown to build a fairly unsuccessful mall when it turned out all they needed to do was ban cars.

Besides the fact Target betrayed what its customers thought were values it shared with them, it's no fun shopping some place where everything is locked up and you have to wait for someone to open a cabinet to buy a pair of socks.

Congrats to Rep. @katiejonesmpls.bsky.social and family, who biked to the hospital last week and came back with baby Hans. Here's what she told me about the ride:

The Dow is no longer at 50000, Ms. Bondi. Can we focus on the Epstein files now?

I'm sure he did more than this, but one of them was a union organizer in the Appalachians.

I find so much "advocacy" is by the local cycling clubs and not for people who ride bikes for utility.

Yesterday I was filling up my little Subie at already inflated gas prices. An F-250 pulled in pumped some gas and quickly left. I checked his pump - about $10 of gas or 2 gallons. About 30 miles.

That guy is so screwed.

Shimano Tiagra is finally 11 speed.

3 questions. Does any bike running Tiagra need a 52/36 crank? The 10 speed version offered a subcompact.

$1,000? Why wouldn't you just buy 105?

You should check your city ordinances. Sometimes it's required.

Yea, I paid $4.89 yesterday which was a massive spike. Fortunately I only get gas about once a month.

Anyone selling new e-motos should be required to be a licensed vehicle dealer.
