That's was often the case with new bikes just a handful of years ago, too, but clearance is starting to open up, even on race/aero frames. When I bought the Domane, it was with everyday riding in mind, and met my criteria of clearance for at least 30mm tires.

I desperately need an hour or two of sleep.
Came back on a 5hr red eye and couldn't sleep. Landed at 7am in time for 2hrs of rush hour traffic.
I miss this...

I don't even trust my racheting Jack stands. I have a big block of wood (thicker than me) as a backup.

You know the story about the 1886 southern railroad gauge change? It's quite a feat I was unaware of. #Trains

So, my dogs have been having some behavioral issues for the past few weeks. Their normal bedtime is 9pm, and they usually wake up around 5:45-6am. Except recently they've been wanting to go out at 1:30, 3:00, 4am just to 'splore (I suspect the geese flocks that have recently taken to congregating in the back of the property have something to do with this development).
Anyway, last night for the first time in a loooong time coyotes were singing all around the property while the dogs and I were out for their last evening constitutional. Libby the Lab went inside and straight to her crate, ready for bed with no issues. Didn't hear a peep out of either of the dogs until 6am

.I can hear him now - "It's wild out there, ma"!

Mentioned it to my supervisor. She told me she had said something to her about her spaghetti straps. Apparently, she felt warm. She's since covered up.
In other news, there is a big cell zeroing in on the city. I decided to work in town day. On foot without rain gear.

It’s so unusual to see the cells go straight North. Usually they go East. Sad!

If I can catch clearance and feel good enough to ride again at some point I may flat pedal it, throw a touring seat on and get back to the 30-40 miler events with the Tevas on. If I can keep a good pace dressed up and equipped like a dirty hippie, all the better.

I'm going to be uncomfortable if I ever have to go back into an office. Shirts are just uncomfortable; when I go out these days during the day it tends to be in a Lululemon singlet.
