riding bikes

People say I am not positive but I disagree because my mantra for the last ten years of my life has been "every last one of you motherfuckers and by every last one I mean every last fucking one" and, I don't know, I think this at least hints at a heartfelt commitment to work for a better world.

Is God Is is worth catching in theaters if you can 👍 👍 whole cast is phenomenal.

Dick Durbin has a good ring to it, but Turd Durbin sounds better to the ear.

I have developed an involuntary response of yelling "SHUT UP!" back at whoever honked. I don't care if it was or wasn't towards me or if somebody else around them was driving poorly to spur it. Shut up

Fuck honking. A plague on cities.

"Is Eating Billionaires Vegan" - the greatest thread in the history of forums, locked by a moderator after 12,239 pages of heated debate,

someone on archer guardians posted a photo of this poll they got and well, it really does just put it plainly what politicians are trying to do here

Make it a race and then we get to meet a motley crew of Car Gays all vying for the prize. Like a Woke Cannonball Run

there's an important lesson in here about quitting if you're not good at something the first time you try it

Not gonna find out what blue lug is. Sounds expensive.

Listen, if you ever catch yourself trying to argue that something is "obvious" or "common sense" to a scientific researcher, you should know those words are like blood in the water to them; it signals weakness in your position, a specific element in your worldview that is propped up by belief alone.

Law professors: Research suggests that creating positive activities and opportunities for teens can help reduce delinquent behavior more effectively than punitive approaches alone. Carceralists: ARREST 👏🏻 MORE 👏🏻 SINGLE 👏🏻 MOMS 👏🏻

Nothing more infuriating than a nonprofit being scummy

this fuckin bangs

A neighborhood was blanketed in poison because of this shooting and the feds' response to it. Sosa-Celis was falsely charged (later dropped). And ICE lied about everything.

The hardest part about tubeless for me is that you don't know how much goo you got in there. Guy yesterday thought he topped off his goo before the ride & got taken out by a small puncture - had to stop at my house to add sealant.

Walking down my street when suddenly, monk parakeets! Maybe this means we have a nest in the neighborhood this year.

Bike toolkit posting, details & mini reviews in the replies.

Torn between "hell yes, self determination" and "US homeowners are the most cruel voting bloc in the world"

When the world gets you down, just remember the wonderful variety of dumplings out there...

I didn't really expect AOC to run this time around. She'd win tho.

Moments later

If automakers are building "software-defined" vehicles that can't function properly without phoning home, car buyers are really screwed.

Protecting people from avoiding concessions at north avenue beach is their most important work

Fanta Shokata is like if Squirt (soda not pee) was more floral. 10/10 dad soda.

Well, it happened. A client disregarded my advice about using generative AI and guess what? It gave them bad advice AND the judge ruled that by using it, Client waived confidentiality and ordered us to turn a bunch of private stuff over. STOP USING GENERATIVE AI FOR LEGAL THINGS. I BEG YOU.

Turning the pop punk up to wash these patio chairs 🤘

Galloping Ghost in Brookfield. This shit is surreal. It just goes on forever.

Financially boned this month and something came up, pls help if you can. Only need like $15.

“We do this for the love of our community more than we do this for the hate of ICE. As much as hate ICE, and I do hate ICE, I really don’t care about them compared to how much I love my people and the friends we’ve made doing this work.”

Turning this into a general question: What are the things you always carry with you on a ride? I don’t have one of these, yet, but I always carry: -multitool -plug kit -pump -knife -2 spare tubes -tire levers -spare lights

Almost forgot we came upon two(!) different airbags-deployed car crashes before the ambulance. Yall are doing so good out there in literal perfect driving conditions. 👏 👏 👏

Obama was a failure on so many fronts, but the normalization of relations with Cuba was truly good & pure. A very rare "I am handing it to Obama and not adding a 'but'"

Uncritical support to the people of Cuba. Death to America. Seize the century of humiliation with both hands.

So many people driving on the nicest day of the year. Extra miserable today too. Hope the traffic is unrelenting, ya bish 🤙

Two rides in a row where I saved another rider with my valve core tool. I don't even use goo anymore, but never took it out of the toolkit. Carry a valve core tool, folks!

You'll get these sweet tiger stripes on your bike shorts if you go to take a shit immediately after putting on sunscreen.

You can really see where you get hit by a car on strava. #datainsights

Broke: boycotting the salt shed Woke: getting your picture up on a "no entry" wall at the salt shed

Everyone I meet, they're all saying the same thing: bikes

I harassed the six flags guy to get his bus out of the bike lane. Salt shed needs to get their shit under control. Complete chaos riding through there whenever there's a show. Starting to really fucking resent that place.

Nodded at another rider because we both had a single yellow ortlieb pannier. #bikechi

Folks, few things worse than sitting in traffic on one of the nicest Saturdays of all time.

Pigs? You eat them? That's fucked.

She is perfect.

House party tonight & 5 am/80 mi bike ride tomorrow morning. Does this old bitch still got it?

88 official miles for me! More 20 MPH default residential speed limits like they have in River Grove, Franklin Park, etc. (my bike commute takes me to fucking Rosemont)

10 lbs & 30 watts away from 4 w/kg. Seems possible, but I'm not planning on racing 🤷‍♂️ Been doing 6.5-9.5 hours of riding the past month or so. Planning on doing 15 hours of biking next week.
