Agree, but I do find his sophomoric/irreverent style to be entertaining in small doses, and I suspect he and I are on the same page regarding the censor/filter.

So, 6 speed freewheel, downtube shifters, and crappy brakes?

Solo list looks cool, I actually really like the new S5 a lot. One of the locals I ride with frequently has a 2020 S5. Its growing on me, and sounds like a space ship.

Out for a family walk, visiting a book store along one of the neighborhood lakes, and had to take a one block detour to see this - a Frank Lloyd Wright house that I'd learned of at the museum a couple of weeks ago -
There are evidently two more Wright houses within a few miles, though the closest one doesn't seem very visible from the street.

We did a tour of Fallingwater maybe 12-13 years ago, when we were doing a Family Reunion in West Virginia. What surprised me about it was how SMALL it was. You don't get a sense of the size from the pictures. Also, what an innovation it must have been when it was built.

I went for a short but refreshing walk at lunchtime. I snapped this pic of a marble slab that is about 1 foot x 2 feet and about 8 inches thick. There are several in town. A colleague told me what it’s for, as I did not know. Anyone care to guess??

Enjoying a day off at Bald Eagle State Park after a crazy night of rain and a very hard day the day before that.
Saw a ruffed grouse yesterday, which is Pennsylvania’s state bird.

Must include best places to throw up, plentiful shade for the light-sensitive, and how to silence "that incredibly loud grinding sound" made by a properly adjusted drivetrain.
EDIT: This would be the perfect Larry thread.
BTW, saw him on the road on Friday. He really does wave at everybody. This is why I think of him as a Golden Retriever Puppy - big, happy, and friendly, galumphing through life happily heedless of danger.

So I have stopped using saddle bags. In my growing sense of vanity, I hate the way they look. So in my pockets I bring my phone, a tube, 2 tire levers, my mini tool and a protein bar. If I’m on the ritchey I bring a spare downtube clamp. Don’t know if they break but don’t want to find out.
Its not ideal, but it doesn’t really bother me. Today I wore my new matching kit, and the material is super stretchy, so by the end of the ride it felt like the items in my pocket were hanging off my backside. If I tried to sprint, they were bouncing all over the place. This didn’t happen the first time I wore it, and it’s not too big. Thoughts? I’m gunna have to come up with a better solution. I like the mini saddle bags I see, but I don’t think I would be good at fitting that stuff in them.
