Tese rituals are painful to watch.

It's deliberate to get you to accidently click a link that shifts into place where you want to click.
Finished product. New saddle, seatpost, crank arms, chain rings, chain, pedals, shift cables, bottom bracket, ergo grips, wide road tires, tubes and added rack, fenders and kick stand. Sweet ride. My son took this off to college and never used it so he let me take it back.
Switched from 48 38 28 to 42 32 22 chinrings, I think I over did it a bit but should easily get me up the steep climb hauling 80 lb of groceries.

Daughter decided to start riding, it found a new home.
I've hit 47mph on a bicycle years back.
This is very cool. If this can be reproduced in humans without major side effects, we are talking about a multi-organ age reversal equivalent to 15+ years using "simple" gene editing techniques that could be made available to the public in 5-10 years.

Maybe just stop mistreating the genes we have.

Adventure awaits

Dear wordle developers, greps is a word, as a developer you should know this.
Priority Bicycles is a shit coin.
If you send me a jobber link, I will look elsewhere. I am looking for service, not some mechanized convenience for you.
Impossible to be depressed while riding.
I was totally lost when my watermelon didn't scan and I did a manual lookup, under fruits but sam's classifies it as vegetable. I was so distracted that I didn't scan all my items in the confusion.
Realizing there are no pandemics or contagion keeps me at ease. Free hugs to anyone "infected"
