Watching Maverick try to replicate their outdoorsy western brand to the state with the smallest % of public land in the country is both funny and sad.

Missed it by 3 weeks but can’t wait to get back and ride!

Did catch the Pink Pony Express Livery however

Your reminder that we used to have a fully electrified train from Des Moines to Fort Dodge…😞

Finally riding the KC Streetcar…and only 20 days before the extension opens.

Bonus points for catching the Chappell Roan car!

Randomly looking up the 2026 World Baseball Classic and jesus the seeding is terrible talk about a group of death!

Progress is continuing nicely on what will soon be Iowa’s tallest residential building

9 months from now this bus will be every 15 min on Saturdays instead of hourly and I can’t wait

Wow these newly proposed condo buildings in Grays Landing are almost single stair buildings, they just still have a vestigial second stair to meet code that's only a short distance from the first. It's like the buildings are trying to evolve into their preferred natural shape!

Thanks to everyone who came out to our endorsement party last night we had a great crowd and a great slate of candidates this year!

Ugh booked a trip to New York for next week (hell yeah!) and am reminded immediately that NY transit is also stupid.

Queenslink when??

We moved in a month ago so everything is still from the previous owners. Walls are an off white blue/grey that we don’t love and will switch to white over time.

Dropping a car off at the airport and needing to bike home since the 8 doesn’t run on weekends and man the airport looks so close to being bike path connected but alas…

Holy crap it’s here the one week of the entire year Iowa has perfect weather. This is what we’ve been practicing for people!

Pretending to be a once a year bus rider with all the other normies

Happy new bus day to those who celebrate

I don’t bike for pure recreation too much these days but a couple days on RAGBRAI is always a fun getaway. Probably should have trained a little more

Good morning

Favorite bike ride in Chicago mission accomplished

Wouldn’t be a trip to Chicago without getting ghost busted by the CTA. Bonus time at Pride as the silver lining…
