You know you want the (soon-to-be-renamed) Echelon Prime Bike, aka The Peloton-killer.

I just noticed the weather app says mostly cloudy. SMFH. I've tried many weather apps and they are all crap.

That reminds me - the other week, when we went to Costco, we happened upon that 40ct tower of stroopwafels that you'd mentioned before. I pointed them out as a joke, but to my dismay, the wife and the boy both insisted that we get them. They, of course, have not held up their end of the bargain, and I've had to eat the lion's share.

I rode the mup for a couple hours. It was nice and I wore gloves and a helmet. I did not have a handle bar bag but I did have a fredly seat bag. I went over 20mph, which is elite. I waved at a lot of people and I passed 3 e-bikes. 2 of them were weird looking contraptions.

That, and the music we find meaningful is what speaks and connects to us. I find most of Coldplay boring, but... Clocks is on the playlist at COTA. Ripping down the front straight with that playing is such a positive association I now enjoy that song. And we feel most of those emotions as utes, so of course we think the music we listened to as we grew up is objectively the best, and kids these days just don't understand it and have no taste.

Sometimes it's best to stay away from Costco.
BTW, nice ride, today.

Understood. He is an interesting guy. I met him while riding bitd at the Hop. He was a brilliant intellect, but had bipolar that was not always well compensated so he would go from brilliance to depression frequently. He would take advanced engineering classes and sit in back and point out when the professors would make mistakes. He was riding in downtown Bmore (on MY Vitus blue aluminum screw/glue frame btw) with a helmet on and hit a storm grate with the openings parallel to the road. Splat! Had decent head trauma and could not think clearly for some time. When he got to his new baseline, he was clearly dumber than before but actually closer to “normal” and way less of a French Shower to others. The joke is that the TBI cured his bipolar, a reverse Phineas Gage type of tale.
Now, 33 years later, he does have some mild cognitive impairment but does ok.

My taste is fine.
Where are people?
Today where the road parallels an MUP I saw one of those low-rider things that you have. It was on the MUP,
Nope.
