I’m a bit obsessed with my new mountain bike from Allied via Steve The Bike Guy. We are still working out some final details but she’s almost complete.

The reaction to the all women space flight has real "read the room" energy - and I'm here for it.

I know many are breathing a sigh of relief as tariffs are paused & markets rebounds. But we’ve just left the landing on this roller coaster, and many are still trying to figure out what the ongoing argument with trading partners means for their businesses. #cycling #bikeshoplife #rideruckusbikes

Steve & I talked about how tariffs will impact prices of not just new bikes, but also everything associated with upgrades, service, repairs, etc. We also shared ways to save whether you own a bike, or need/want a new bike. stevethebikeguy.com/episode-14-m... #cycling #podcast #stevethebikeguy
Episode 14 – Managing the Chaos and Costs of New Tariffs - Steve the Bike Guy
There is still a lot we don’t know about the new tariffs, but experts all appear to agree – the costs of new bikes, as well as parts, accessories and everything else are likely to increase. Steve and ...

I'll admit, I'm appreciating the opportunity to air some of my grievances, I mean share some experience and offer advice as to how you should (or should not) talk to women cyclists. www.youtube.com/shorts/PjRYf... #cycling #bicycle #bikeshoplife

This week Steve & I talked about bike service & tune-ups. I love these opportunities to learn from STBG (and maybe vent a little bit). Watch or listen on YouTube or your favorite podcasting app. stevethebikeguy.com/episode-13-a... #cycling #podcast #bikeshop #bicycles

The SAVE Act doesn’t save anything. Its main effect is to make it harder for women to vote, especially those like me who changed our names when we married.

Just watched an episode of "With Love, Meghan." It is just like every show like it - sweet, sincere, and taking hosting very seriously. (Which is why I don't usually watch these shows).

Why can't we just let people do their thing? If you don't like it - do not watch!

Some heroes wear pantsuits.
Governor Mills doesn’t suffer fools lightly, and it appears she has even less tolerance for bullies. (And as a former attorney general, she knows what she’s talking about.)
Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws

Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds.

Listening to our president answer a question is like listening to a student doing a book report after reading just the summary on the back.

A federal court just blocked Elon Musk from interfering with the federal government’s payments system.

There is power in fighting back. We won’t let up until this block is permanent.

No one elected Elon Musk.

As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences.

We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

Folks, this is a very big deal to have political appointees in charge of every government check. Maybe Dems have more to say about this? Might be a good time to raise the roof.
Musk aides gain access to sensitive Treasury Department payment system
The access, granted by Scott Bessent, Trump’s newly confirmed treasury secretary, comes after the ousting of the agency’s top career official.

A couple years ago I decided to add new authors to my reading list, specifically expanding to check out sci-fi and fantasy (a favorite genre of mine) written by black authors.

The stories were fantastic.

Today seems like a good day to research and add more to my reading list.

Not sure if it’s because I’m a marketer or a former mom blogger and podcaster but I am obsessed.
