Dear World,
I am on a bicycle ride and you should try it, it makes almost everything better even the things that were already good
We made the last one mile before the last two miles the fastest stretch of the ride, and none of us knew why and it was beautiful
If you don’t keep remembering that you’re on a 1- to 2-percent grade, being on a 1- to 2-percent grade will really mess with your head
If I did an OnlyFans, it would be, like, me cleaning a chain then reading a few chapters of The Rider.
I took the free trial of @disneyplus (mostly to see what the Baby Yoda thing was about) & peeked at @hulu but ended up not finding enough value in those & didn’t subscribe. I paid $12 for one month of @youtube Premium because I wanted to see @CobraKaiSeries, then cancelled. /2
Cycling trends come & go & sometimes come back & sometimes go away again & etc & sometimes in there we get a whole bunch of new special gear & stuff we either need or don’t & sometimes all of that just becomes cycling & we forget it was ever not.
Cycling’s fine, folks. Enjoy it.
Despite indisputably knowing & acknowledging I am 100 percent wrong, I still think light wheels are better than aero wheels
Since the thread posted, several people, including @t_seplavy herself, let me know that I “deadnamed” her — that is, I used the name she’d been known by before her transition. I had no idea this is a really crappy thing to do! Oof!
The absolute best thing I can do when someone tells me I’ve blown it is to shut up my own damn kneejerk defense, think it through, listen to what’s being said, and instead of arguing or debating, ask with the intention of understanding the other person’s POV.
I’ve known Tara since the ‘90s or early 2000s, when she was called Todd and was presenting as a dude. So we’re at NAHBS a few weeks ago, catching up, and we hug goodbye, and I say something like, “So great to see you, man.”
