All these squatches made me wonder, what kind of music do they listen to? Squatch rock? First thought was metal, but apparently it's rave. Skip to 0:48. Maybe some Mozart for those pensive moments in the forest.

I thought you Brits might need chimney bells as MPEWAs — Mary Poppins Early Warning Systems. Can't very well have her poppin' in unannounced when you're watching the tele in your undies. ;^} I'll let myself out.

Hope your elbow heals soon. On the bright side, you can use that lump to delegitimize anything involved. Anything at all. That's the rule now. Just looking through your post, you could blame o your son o maps o bridges o Alex Frasier o Komoot o the number 14 o work o commuting o phones o...

Amen to all of that!

Is it common to use smiley emojis for "just kidding"? A wink 😉 would be umabiguous.

So you use smiley emojis to indicate when you're just kidding?

Oh really? The 25-35 mostly unmotorized cyclists I sometimes ride with on Wednesday mornings are consummate roadies by any standard — ability, experience, mindset, equipment, you name it. Many are lifelong roadies, some with racing histories. And no rational person who knew anything about...

Very envious of your miles and miles of "premium gravel". Looks like a fun ride. How do you get the word out about the rides you organize?

Where is that? I liked our Denver snows. Typically 6 or so a season, each 3-6 inches, 3-5 days on the ground, then gone — all starting around Halloween. Beautiful punctuation to the winter and early spring. Wasn't riding much then, but plenty of winter days I could have ridden with good gear —...

Based on your own sample, what percentage of henry murals are squatchless? And what are the odds of ever getting to use "squatchless" in a real sentence?

Wahoo, I'm one of the cool kids now!

Various oils, peanut butter, Goof Off and other commercial adhesive removers, 91% isopropyl alcohol, various scrapers, dental tools — the list of label countermeasures goes on and on. Some dream of a future with no war or hunger. I'd settle for one with labels that just peel off in one piece. ;^}

Replacement phone in place Moved into the Note20's successor last night — a Samsung S25 Ultra. Tests of the new 5x telephoto camera (same as the longest on the old Note20) reminded me just how sharp a good phone telephoto can be. The new phone's 10x telephoto option seems just as sharp. Sure...

Yes, remove nearly any sticker visible in use. Wish some of them didn't put up such a fight.

Beautiful scene! That's one very sharp bike. Lots of fine fall beach days here lately, too, but SoCal winter put a warning shot across my bow this morning with a gray day in the low 60s. Somehow we'll soldier through. ;^}

Many hybrid options out there. I've had good luck on a mix of dry surfaces with the 27.5 x 2.35" Specialized Crossroads Armadillo, but no experience in wet conditions. The Armadillo part refers to their highest level of puncture protection. The tread pattern is a good one to consider for your...

Ride past Del Mar Dog Beach a lot and drive the dog there even more often. Just when I thought yesterday's (car) trip with Roxie and a friend couldn't get any better, I spotted this coming slowly down the coast. Flew right through the low puffy clouds just offshore. Could barely see my...

I don't associate SI units with the French. Problem solved. Jokes aside, generalizations based on nationality are just silly. Onions and I no longer see eye to eye. Failure to avoid them on my part is NOT a victimless crime.

The beauty of metric and especially SI units comes into full view when you're doing scientific and engineering calculations. Like the calculations underlying your ebike and cell phone. Be happy that some people are willing to leave quaint old units behind for units that actually make sense in...

Maybe. I use Stan's in my tubeless tires. Switched to Clik valves almost a year and 3,000 mi ~8 months and ~2,000 mi ago. Flawless except for 2 top-offs in a row that made me wonder about sealant in the front valve. Used the reservoir on my Topeak Joe Blow pump to blast any plugs back into the...
