Coffee, bikes and batteries. Fan of vegan junk food. I like public transportation, computers, MotoGP, F1, and bicycle racing (all forms). Mostly in Northern Nevada / Portland Oregon. Addicted to riding all forms of 2 wheeled objects.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Need to figure out a way to get these stats to the dozens of SUV drivers rolling through the 4-way stop next to my child’s school all day every day.

The problem with the strategy using state cops to rein in fascists is similar with the problem with trying to get Hannah Montana to fill in when Miley Cyrus is sick.

Threw my bike on the car rack and we drove the kids to their first day of school. As I took my bike of the rack to ride home, partner taking the car to her destination, I realized my Sram batterys were both on the charger. 3rd ride on the new BMC was as a carbon fiber single speed for 24 km.

Troy Bayliss won a race as a wild card rider. That’s how nuts that year was.

While we live in a Fox-News nation, Finland has started teaching school children how to identify fake news and propaganda as a part of its curriculum.

Be like Finland.

There is no quicker way to get me to listen to a track then to list an alternate time signature to 4/4. Great listen btw.

if the city was concerned about the safety of cyclists (e- and otherwise) it would regulate cars!

I see you…

You’re out here raising hell and hauling snacks. Counter culture with cargo bike capacity.

The last scene from Castaway, where Tom Hanks is standing in the middle of an intersection in the middle of nowhere, wondering what to do now that he watched four weeks of good bike racing.

As we watch the TDFF crush today’s stage, yesterday in US Motocross, Racing Kyler became the first female rider to beat the boys straight up for the 65cc championship.

Update: I offered the amendment. Not to refuse acceptance of the Qatari jet; just to prohibit Trump from taking it with him when he leaves office - after the taxpayers spend $1 billion to retrofit it.

Failed 14-15. Every single Republican voted to allow Trump to take the jet.
