I’m a bit obsessed with my new mountain bike from Allied via Steve The Bike Guy. We are still working out some final details but she’s almost complete.

The reaction to the all women space flight has real "read the room" energy - and I'm here for it.

I know many are breathing a sigh of relief as tariffs are paused & markets rebounds. But we’ve just left the landing on this roller coaster, and many are still trying to figure out what the ongoing argument with trading partners means for their businesses. #cycling #bikeshoplife #rideruckusbikes

Episode 14 – Managing the Chaos and Costs of New Tariffs - Steve the Bike Guy There is still a lot we don’t know about the new tariffs, but experts all appear to agree – the costs of new bikes, as well as parts, accessories and everything else are likely to increase. Steve and ...

Steve & I talked about how tariffs will impact prices of not just new bikes, but also everything associated with upgrades, service, repairs, etc. We also shared ways to save whether you own a bike, or need/want a new bike. stevethebikeguy.com/episode-14-m... #cycling #podcast #stevethebikeguy

Tell your members of Congress to oppose the SAVE Act | League of Women Voters Tell your members of Congress to oppose the SAVE Act.

If you are a married woman, like me, who took your husband's last name - next week you could lose your right to vote if the SAVE Act passes. Use this form from the League of Women Voters of the US for a form you can use to write to your senators and representatives: www.lwv.org/take-action/...

Did your wife buy you that?
YouTube video by Steve the Bike Guy Did your wife buy you that?

I'll admit, I'm appreciating the opportunity to air some of my grievances, I mean share some experience and offer advice as to how you should (or should not) talk to women cyclists. www.youtube.com/shorts/PjRYf... #cycling #bicycle #bikeshoplife

Episode 13 - (Almost) Everything You Need to Know About Bike Tune-Ups - Steve the Bike Guy Spring is here, and our thoughts turn towards getting bikes ready to ride. But does your bike “need” a tune up? Steve and Kristin talk about what is (generally) included in a service package, what can...

This week Steve & I talked about bike service & tune-ups. I love these opportunities to learn from STBG (and maybe vent a little bit). Watch or listen on YouTube or your favorite podcasting app. stevethebikeguy.com/episode-13-a... #cycling #podcast #bikeshop #bicycles

My husband (a bike mechanic) says it was once common, but is now fairly rare because bolts are now integrated into seat collars.

GOP Plan: Deny MILLIONS of Women the Right to Vote They see the election results, and they know women are a threat to their majority.

The SAVE Act doesn’t save anything. Its main effect is to make it harder for women to vote, especially those like me who changed our names when we married.

Hands Off Her Vote

PARENT POLL OF THE WEEK: Should your tax dollars pay for Natick High School racist "white privilege" curriculum? Taxpayer dollars should not fund indoctrinating students in radical race-based ideologies.

I’d be okay if these idiots in my hometown were flooded with people voting yes for “radical racial indoctrination”

Just watched an episode of "With Love, Meghan." It is just like every show like it - sweet, sincere, and taking hosting very seriously. (Which is why I don't usually watch these shows).

Why can't we just let people do their thing? If you don't like it - do not watch!

It is a disaster. I’d say I can’t look away, but it turns out I can.

I couldn’t get past the line “Meghan Markle (Meghan Sussex!)” - why the “shock” that she prefers her married name?

Listening to our president answer a question is like listening to a student doing a book report after reading just the summary on the back.

Our administration taking down the CFPB home page but not the rest of the site feels very on brand.

No one elected Elon Musk.

As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences.

We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

Universal healthcare would be my preference as I don’t think it should be attached to employment. But if those are my only choices it would be a nonprofit.
