The 2025 Women's Elite World Road Race Champion is Magdeleine Vallieres of Canada. #Kigali2025 firstcycling.com/race.php?r=9...

Brian & Carlton apparently couldn't be arsed to study the pronunciation of the riders' names. Disappointed that they parachuted these clowns in, rather than use commentators who regularly cover women's racing. I'd expect the geographically adjacent Brian to at least know how to pronounce Niamh.

There are few things I like more in watching bike racing than to see the peloton containing the favourites look at each other and decide to fuck it up.

Peloton now reduced to the main players. The next attack will be harder to organize against.

I remain gobsmacked by the utter brilliance of Smith's treatise on aging, the fleeting nature of life, mortality and regret...

Well, she stays on my villains list. I wish her nothing but flat tyres and mechanical failures, as well as a team that won't help her. cyclingmagazine.ca/sections/new...

I'm just here for his dog in the opening frames. The paw on his arm and the look saying "Keep it together...".

People who have nice looking smiles share them effortlessly. My smile just makes me look like I'm in pain. So for photos, I force it, and that just makes it worse. 😬

Mood: "And wondering what became of that boy And the world he called his own I'm outside in the dark Wondering how I got so old"

I crocheted Patti Smith’s Horses cover

This is what happens when you replace actual knowledge, expertise, experience, ability and even really basic common sense, with shockingly dumb patronage based on ego, corruption and racism. The United States probably now has the dumbest appointed government on the planet.

Americans talk about reducing violent crime while dismissing all the things that would actually prevent it like banning guns, making society more equitable, paying people more, reducing cost of living, giving people healthcare...

@f1tv.bsky.social How come the full qualifying replays aren't available to stream this weekend?

the year is 2026. America’s population now only consists entirely of heterosexual white conservative men with AI chatbot girlfriends. the bloated, putrefied corpse of Donald Trump remains seated in the White House, gathering swarms of flies and maggots, both of which help to sustain Stephen Miller

Imagine being so fucking stupid and dangerous that government scientists and doctors are putting their jobs on the line to protest you and your policies

wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

that's gotta be at least four doors

This is the joke of the day about Tudor fashion.

"I am so smart I have a toddler's level of skill at parsing context dohohoho" top ten worst type of post

WOW EVERYBODY GET A LOAD OF THIS GUYS DICK

What an absolute piece of shit Carney turned out to be. I don't think he's stupid, he knows the climate crisis is real, he knows every summer Canada is on fire, he knows about wet bulb temperatures and rising oceans, and he truly doesn't care.

Building more fossil fuel infrastructure right now is psychopathic. All so the government of Canada can shove a little more money into the pockets of a dying industry that's already taken so much from humanity. Feels like everyday Mark Carney reveals another way in which he's a really bad person.

The stupidity of farming sunlight with crops like corn can't be pointed out often enough. Solar is so far ahead it's not even really a contest.

"If I think we're in great shape here, that's one thing. But if I don't, I'm just going to say it's a national emergency," he said. "If I have a national emergency, I can keep the troops here as long as I want." That's it, America. Your experiment with democracy is over.

The vile US presidential power to grant pardons is arguably the only necessary pre-condition for dictatorship. He can basically implement any policy regardless of legality.

Mood: "And I'm outside in the dark Staring at the blood red moon Remembering the hopes and dreams I had And all I had to do And wondering what became of that boy And the world he called his own I'm outside in the dark Wondering how I got so old"

I want a travel website option that lets me enter the date and time I want to arrive, and then counts back to when I have to leave. I hardly ever have a definite time I want to leave, but almost always have a deadline for arrival.

Name the climb.

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

If I have to limit it to one: Open Borders. No Really, We Mean It Open Borders. Walk across and start working, glad to have you, open borders.

"....while every government agency that doesn’t directly kill people has been gutted financially." 😬

When did @acteryx.bsky.social go from selling technical outdoor clothing to just becoming another fashion brand? We think we're done with them.

The best way to reduce CO2 emissions by and amount equivalent to removing 10,000 cars is to remove 10,000 cars.

Thread!

I also wish ill on JK Rowling. I hope she suffers every ounce of harm she has caused to trans people , kids and adults. @moderation.bsky.app, your capitulation to the worst human beings alive is absolutely gutless. I’d say you should be ashamed, but it’s obvious you lack that capacity.

Why does my Vox AC30 have the control labels oriented as if I was standing behind the amp? Which I never do.

Riding in regular clothes is awesome but trying to belittle someone because they sometimes ride in Lycra is so fucking weak and EVERYONE who rides should push back. It's just a kind of fabric (that makes certain activities more pleasant).

Both sides... Cyclist: "It would be nice to have safe routes for getting around. You know to the store, school, work, friends' places etc." Drivist: "You can't haul fishing trawler with your bike, and until you earn our respect, you deserve to die."

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

OK, BC summers are now as hot and dry as Australian summers I experienced growing up.

There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

Correct headline: "Trump hits US businesses and consumers with additional taxes." abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

What they say: "Without ample free parking, my customers will go elsewhere, and I will go out of business." What they mean: "I drive to my business and I don't want to be inconvenienced. I have no idea how my customers get here but I assume they are just like me."

To be fair, they have to sell the dream. And the dream of all drivers is to not ever encounter other drivers.

Teaming up against Gigantor. That's bike racing.
