Calling this a pandemic is a stretch, although it is in the title. At the peak, COVID represented 20% of what folks died from in the USA (45 year olds and 85+ had the same ratios). Now it is close to 2% of the deaths are found with COVID while those deaths still have a reported average 3.6 conditions.
USACycling and city's canceling racing is political, you cannot avoid that. The racing itself is the most dangerous part.
Rides (Como) now have kits for sale and prize money for finishes. This is mostly a non threat to the cycling community except for views outside of cycling, so it is hard to avoid such discussion.
