Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Yeah, I posted a screen grab of the how-to video for sbxx1985 , but I still haven't received one in the mail from him yet.

Anyway,

The order will...apply to people who cannot keep six feet away from others in public settings, such as on a bus or subway, a crowded sidewalk or inside a grocery store.
not, I note, a rural road.

I've been looking at Lezyne pumps lately - they're making Drives/Tech Drives in Small sizes now, 170mm. I'll prolly get a red HV version.

I don't. The kids do. Daughter #1 is quite good. She can have the piano once she lands somewhere semi-permanently. The piano was originally bought by my parents around 1962, made its way to us about 17 years ago.

I generally like Lezyne pumps. As you may recall from 2 days ago, my super-pump is a Lezyne CNC floor pump with a Hirame head. It's the bees knees!

I rode. It was great. As I was cresting a climb some riders were going the other way. The last one says "What's up John"? I have no idea who he was. He had a mask on but I didn't recognize the Pinarrelo either.

If you spend much time on social media it doesn't come as a big surprise that people are confused about such things.

The laser thing in that video you posted is interesting, though the guy who made it needs to be more entertaining to go viral.

Does that Strava beacon thing broadcast where you're riding? Maybe you have stalkers?

my mom is retired, 79 years old, and lives comfortably. She not “Rich”, but she’s never going to worry about $$$ in her lifetime.

She was upset the the government was giving her money she didn’t need.

Thanks Dad, I miss you dearly.

We won't get a check, but our daughter will. She lives hand to mouth on a doctoral training grant in Ireland, but only because we are stingy with her for her own good. I think she should donate at least a portion of that check, but my wife is against raising the subject. She's usually correct about such things.
