Former record-holding ultra endurance racer turned slow-poke dad who now measures rides in snack breaks instead of KOMs. I also make videos for BIKEPACKING.com and very much enjoy White Sox baseball, Bluegrass, all types of pizza, and love our planet! 🌎

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

These guys are all cowardly, terrified babies who have learned that if they cry & whine loud enough, RW media will come rescue them.
WOW -- a screaming Patel crashes out in response to Schiff's questions about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and calls him "the biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States Senate" and "an utter coward" and "political buffoon"

Y'all, what do we think about mullets? No, not that kind. I just got back from a ride today and was giddy. I forgot how fun mullet setups are. I’ve been experimenting with my custom Goodday hardtail, but I think mullet mode is indeed party mode.

This is uncalled for, but trump is trying to make it the new normal. What do we think about this? Its not the United States any longer, that's for sure.

Can’t talk about school shootings because the the abuse of the second amendment.
Sometimes I really wonder how much science is compromised because of America's inability to look beyond its narrow domestic politics. Can't have normal discussions about vaccine safety and side-effects because anti-vaxxers. Can't discuss multiple drivers of disasters because climate deniers

So the radical leftists’ plot must go something like this:
The Democrats had the files and tampered with them, but didn’t use them during the election. Now that Trump is president, they want the files to become public to falsely incriminate Trump

ACTION ALERT! Tell lawmakers to not give away public lands! Today, lawmakers in the House will begin marking up a budget reconciliation bill that poses serious threats to America’s public lands and waters.
Congress Is Fast-Tracking a Public Lands Rollback
A new budget bill guts protections, fast-tracks development, and shuts out public input. Lawmakers vote today—tell them public lands deserve better.

Most UK car trips are under 10km, ideal for cycling, especially with an e-bike.

This is really scary stuff, please reach out to your representative ASAP.
URGENT 🚨 ACTION ALERT! Congress is about to vote on a major spending bill, and included in the negotiations is the possibility of selling off America's public lands.
This reckless idea threatens the places where Americans get outside to climb, ski, hike, camp, bike, paddle, surf, and explore.
