I once lost a bike race by less than an inch in a sprint finish and hit my handlebars in frustration hard enough to break the 5th metacarpal in my left hand.
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

I pointed out that a guy who had been suspended from professional bike racing four times for doping, one of them a "lifetime" suspension, was a prominent member of Lidl-Trek's staff and had been for some time.

My annual mileage and hours on the bike had been declining steadily since 2020. Finally reversed the trend this year, with ~10% more miles and hours in 2025 than in 2024.
I'll try to keep the new trend going in 2026.

I need some positivity. Quote or reply with your favorite bike memory of 2025. It can be a great ride, an advocacy accomplishment, whatever. Let's celebrate bikes.
My personal favorite was finally doing a bikepacking ride up to Portland, Maine! It has me excited for bigger adventures in 2026.

March 1933: Dozens of historic places across Germany, including the Main Market Square in Nuremberg, Central Stadium in Stuttgart, and prestigious institutions such as the Martin Luther School, are renamed for Adolph Hitler. They all returned to their original names after the fall of the regime.

Follow-up: Bought another Toyota, a 2020 Rav4 with 50k on it. As I got closer and closer to making a decision it was hard to look past Toyota reliability. Everything else is lower priority to me these days.
