@majorlinux @silver_huskey @milkman76 Dorsey says he left Bluesky because it was "becoming another Twitter" or something like that. I wonder if there's any truth to it. If so, maybe Bluesky isn't all that great after all?

One of the many advantageas of a cycle lane: You can bypass the car traffic on a busy street!

It's been forever since I've been to a car dealership, let alone to wait for a service to be done. They have nice amenities!

@tk Your palm rests on the back of your phone, doesn't it?

@tk Just curious, what aspect of a super-thin bezel makes it a pain in the ass to live with?

@tk We all do except none of want to... lol

Tell me you're a cyclist without telling me you're a cyclist. 😆

This is what a two-way bike path should be like. If only we had anything like that in Seattle...

@tk One litre is huge for a motorcycle, if you ask me. I'm still used to 250cc and 400c engines. Even a 750cc ("nana-han") is pretty big for me.

@ascentale @meganL @ai6yr @Brownian_motion A8: Yeah, I avoid cross-chaining, too. With the big chainring on front, I typically avoid shifting the rear to the three innermost cogs. As @meganL said you can usually feel it.

I have no words. A police officer drove at 74 MPH in a 25 MPH zone without sirens, struck and killed a person in a crosswalk, got away with a second-degree negligent driving and a $5,000 fine, failed to pay the fine, and is now contesting the citation. He didn't even have a valid driver's license when the incident occurred. And he is still employed by SPD.

@amd Yeah, and that doesn't satisfy the shareholders...

@snacks @biketooter @cycling @mastobikes @tk I wish my commuter had disc brakes. They work much better in the rain and take a lot less effort to squeeze downhill.

@ascentale @genex A1: From Seattle, WA. Such a great timing! I've just taken pictures of my bike as I've gotten new wheels installed on it. It's a 2021 Specialized Roubaix Sport.

@meganL You didn't ask, but my spelling pet peeve is "yay" vs "yea," as in:

Yay or nay (wrong)
Yea or nay (right)

@tk @biketooter @cycling @mastobikes Wait, is Chain Reaction Cycling going into administration?

@Mitsu I wonder if she laughs at a Japanese flag as well. After all, it's just the sun.

@tk Oh I see. I thought long legs typically mean long arms, too, which should compansate for the short torso in terms of the handlebar reach, but I may have it wrong.

New sandal day. Bought these for $40 from Performance Bicycle. The pair of iSSi SPD cleats was $2.60 on REI.com. Totally worth the money.
