To everyone who was hoping to be raptured today, please accept our sympathy. We feel your disappointment.

If it helps, I promise the rest of us are much more disappointed.

I'm left hanging. Does the parenthesis ever close?

Sure, go. My wife has a 2015. Currently down to ~70 miles range.

We ended up dismounting our bikes and walking on the sidewalk because it was faster!

I visit Chicago a couple of times a year, and it's pretty nice to bike around. Banning cars from the Magnificent Mile would be awesome!

Sometimes 90% of the traffic is people in expensive cars cruising to be seen.

Tempting...

"Elsewhere."

I've made big "gains" and come in first or second every time I played the stock market game with friends. Like +30% in two months.

Still, my real 401(k) is just index funds and planned retirement year funds.

As a cyclist, this is my comment to drivers who yell at me to "GET ON THE SIDEWALK!"

I usually start with "the sideWHAT?".

I'm an engineer, making a lot more than a typical service industry worker, and 100% I'd not be at work tomorrow for $5 million.

The vast majority of drivers repeatedly speed. A tiny fraction gets caught repeatedly. Other than that, I'm still okay with the speed limiters because the ones who get caught repeatedly are the ones constantly going 15+ MPH over.

Some photos from Sunday's beautiful gravel ride. Started below freezing, ended up about 60 °F / 15 ° C.

I used to have a "powered by ethanol" sticker on my bike.

I'm sure it feels disrespectful when he's given the amount of respect he deserves. Although in this case, he was given more than he deserves.

I have never owned any clipless pedals or shoes. I did LEJoG last year on flat pedals.

The Matrix lobby scene

I was hoping for chaos.

Clipless? Probably 45Nrth $$.
I ride flat pedals, so cheap hiking/hunting winter boots work for me.

I'd like to see either of them in a cage match with Ronda Rousey.

Honestly, God, you used to do better work. Where's a good old testament she-bear attack or his bowels falling out? You're slipping.

I don't know you, but I'm happy for you!

There is actually a place near me that makes them.

I've heard.

These flavors have become so good they're weaponized. I realized this when they came out with the tikka masala flavor.

It's why I no longer buy them.

Great, now that's stuck in my head. Again.

Djinn: You have released me from the lamp. I grant you three wishes.

Me: My first wish is a four hour consultation with you on the limitations, and potential pitfalls, of these wishes, where you must answer my questions truthfully and volunteer any important information that I may not ask for.

One time I did that, and I got the item... fulfilled by Amazon.

A selfie of a man riding a bicycle on the road. The bicycle has pogies installed on the bars.

It was warm enough on my afternoon commute that I didn't need the Bar Mitts, but there was a strong headwind so I'll pretend they function as aero hand fairings.

Oh thank God!

I remember being so disappointed if I would sleepover at a friend's, and in the morning they only had margarine to "butter" my toast with. Most of them even referred to it as "butter."
