No. NO!
You got this thread read all wrong, pal, we don’t like friction. This is a thread where people actually like one another. There’s no simmering feuds here, no room for it.

Thanks Billy. I just figured I best hush, because it seemed no one believed me, and would rather promote that myth.

Bought new shoes and pedals today. I suffered a rapid deceleration at the halfway point of my ride Thursday night. The new rig now has a dent in the drive side chainstay and is slightly bent. I have a friend doing damage assessment. Initial review was it should be ok. he had a bike shop BITD and still has equipment to check alignment to make sure.
I limped back with the usual scapula to buttocks involvement in addition to a direct hit to my big toe which caused a twisting of my ankle.
I will put my cleats on the new shoes along with my shims for leg length discrepancy and give it a go on the old bike tomorrow.
The front part of the rigid sole of the involved shoe was broken off requiring replacement. Pedal involved also was broken.
I don't want to do that again and advise against it.

Way back in the day, it was about patentcad and his bike schwag/cult of personality.
But it has morphed and is now a bit of a moving target.

Got that song stuck in my head now.
Ah, good times...

Yesterday’s ride featured someone’s phone alarm going off repeatedly. Which led to an awful rendition of S.O.S. by ABBA.

Better than the people who ride around blasting music from their phone the entire time, as if everyone wants to listen to their music. Through tiny terrible speakers.

A week later, I went to the airport lost and found and asked them if they had an iPod.
They had a couple, and asked me what it looked like and if my name was on it.
It's white and no.
They asked me what the first song is (the preset format was alphabetically by artist and happened to be ABBA).
I considered just leaving the iPod there.

Also, hot take: Romo is a better broadcaster than he was QB.

And besides that, which people talk about, he's the one AG finds informative enough that she pays much closer attention to the games he's calling. And the only one she immediately notices. Here's hoping we get 20+ years out of him doing this
