Taking the babies out for Sunday exploration.
I have a thing for bmx handle bars on mountain bikes. So this weekend I switch them up on the Gt All Terra 1993. What do you think? Leave original or upgrade?
Been trying to get more friends on #nostr I’ve seen all the positive things it has to offer and I think many will benefit from the space. Today I will find away of creating some material to share with Dominicans and Spanish speakers online and offline. What do you think of this tagline: “nostr es para nosotros” ? 🇩🇴
