i have a hard time getting on board with anything that is a hurdle for someone to go car free. there's a lot with this that does that. if you can't lug it up to your apartment and don't have a garage, where does it charge? not compatible with non-branded components. who's doing the servicing?

sure, getting whacked by a dutch city bike + riders at 170-210# is ideal but having a bike that you're unable to take into a 2+ story walkup won't move the needle either way + if i'm a betting man, my guess is these end up on the hitch of SUVs/campers more often than buzzing around cities.

even loose MTB stuff is "lycra" and it's casual looking. tech wear rules, but i don't expect a M*G* adjacent resist account to understand that.

disengage and block.
someone on here was reposting some blue M*G* resistance bs that was definitely misinformation which prompted the original post. even tho they called it misinformation it's still reposted into the world. CUT THAT SHIT AT THE SOURCE FUCK IS THAT HARD?

it didn't occur to me to look it up until a few years later, and i saw Pastrana's name (my only real point of reference).
anyway, holla if you go. i can give you the good good routes. good, long climbs and rolling ridge roads. feels more line WNC than SE Ohio.

i ended up riding down there on a practice day, but apparently missed the last car by about 5 minutes. otherwise i probably would have been killed. it's pretty remote and we parked somewhere well aways from the start and there was surprisingly little signage.

b. i think Visma is too data and analytics driven to just be casually throwing hands. my guess they know the boundaries they can push right now and are pushing them.
c. the Tour is going to fucking rule this year.

a. Pogi probably in the middle of a massive training block, so i don't think there's too much to it. although, i've said before at some point we're all human and he's raced VERY hard so far this year.

quote me on this - Matteo and Jonas are going to be a handful in July.
comment in response to
post
Jonas ain't worried about 20" with the big stage 7 coming, or the bigger objectives in July.
would love to say Tadej chucking the amount of time is a concern but something tells me next month today's result won't have really mattered.
comment in response to
post
i, for one, am very ok with a 17km time trial. this is generally compelling.
comment in response to
post
Remco, not surprised.
Jonas can always pull a good ITT and losing time to Remco won't be a problem
Tadej dropping 20" to Jonas at the intermediate is pretty nuts.

do they overlap? i’m so out of the loop this summer.

If you are committed to nonviolence and peacefully protesting, that is fine. If you are not interested in either, that is fine. People are autonomous beings and make their decisions accordingly. You are responsible for yours. Trying to police other protestors’ behavior is just being a fucking cop.

You’re at a protest and saw someone do something that you don’t approve of, that might get them in trouble with the cops? No you didn’t. Mind your business.
