This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

TODAY: we demo the new 20-inch Brompton G Line, at Valley Green in PHL. Noon to 4 pm. [ Scan the QR code, please, to register for yr test ride]

Andrew Cuomo is a disgraced former governor who sexually harassed multiple women, covered up nursing home deaths, and used taxpayer dollars to write a book. Endorsing Cuomo is shameful.

ONCE UPON A TIME, Trophy Bikes was located in the Left Bank in University City ; when we split for N. Liberties, the Keswick Cycle bros tried to slap big signs on our old windows (they got hollered at + had to take them down) Well @keswick just closed their U. City space + geez, we are more subtle!

Philly needs congestion pricing

Welcome to another thrilling episode of #ThisOldBrompton ! We sold this London Bus Red M6L in 2005; it’s carried a couple different family members all over various cities. Getting a new drivetrain and rear wheel (the old SRAM is not cost-effective to revive), among other things. Stay tuned!
