Most consequential comedy routine in American history.

Given my riding life, I think my Strava data has no relavance beyond personal record keeping. But I'm grateful to have a lifestyle that lets me get 50 hours/month on a bike. This means I'm doing something I love an average of 100 minutes a day. I don't take that for granted.

Why does anyone give a fuck what George W Bush has to say at this point? His silence until now speaks volumes about who he is and whatever it is that he stands for.

My thirst to watch videos of college students enthusiastically standing on line to vote is infinite.

I'm afraid that by the time that many reasonable people realize that we're fucked it will be too late.

Got my second email this fall from my kid's HS that there are pertussis cases. Thanks for the revival anti vaxxers.

But I thought unhappy progressives said Trump and Harris were basically the same.

I have spent the last 4 days pondering what happened on Election Day. I think there are many factors that led to Trump's victory but the biggest one IMO is that there are tens of millions of low information voters who have been exposed to an unprecedented misinformation campaign.

Democrats moving left (or center) doesn't solve this sort of terrifying batshit crazy.

I know I'm not in America this week because: -There was a very nice train from inside the airport to center city. -The complementary hotel breakfast spread had 10+ options for jam and honey. -The hotel bar has a giant TV playing a full rebroadcast of cyclocross racing.

LOL my timeline is 50/50 Democrats saying Harris lost because she abandoned progressives and their principles and that she lost because she didn't more clearly repudiate leftist ideology and move more to the center. And they say you can't make everyone unhappy all the time!

Even after 20 years of visiting Europe, watching Eurosport still blows my American mind. You can be watching a bike race in your hotel room and go to the bathroom and come back and there suddenly is billiards or darts on TV during prime time.

Starting to post more on the other place than here. Consider giving it a try if you haven't already.

After a week on Bluesky, I'm not sure why I'd want to keep posting here. The doomscrolling is better here but on the other site there are no ads, no bots, very little trolling, and a surprising absence of strangers arguing with each other.

I recommend Peter Flax book very highly. Few people know the sport and machine we love as well, or write about it with such depth and understanding.
