Singlespeeds are stupid. I'm going to buy a FS e-mtb and be done with it. What should I get? See ya on the trails next week! Or rather, you'll see the back of me as a brap away. [Edit: happy April 2.]

Thanks for the pics, it inspired me to get on my bike after more than a week off. I guess fire activates the seeds because that is where the bluebonnets are epic. Also, at red horn having a beer outside and what kind of jerk plays smashing pumpkins on his laptop for everyone to hear? People suck.

Amazing. Life returning after the fire.

Not trying to stoke any coals here but The Tip shared almost 70 miles of trail maps with me, and i wasn't on any social media. Most of which I'd never even heard of. Pretty cool

sigh. I really didn't want to address this but, to protect what little reputation I have, I am compelled to do so. I am not sure why I am having to endure TAF's unrelenting wrath. It started with his suggestion for a cleanup of a particular spot in the SATN. I didn't immediately jump on it and make it happen. He has been very angry at me since. I'm not sure why he didn't organize this event himnself if it was so important to him. But I'm amazed that he accuses me of "doing nothing for the community." The irony being that I would be willing to bet that there are less than five people in town that have given as many hours to trail building, maintenance, organizing clean ups, putting on community building events, and participating in other's events too, (ARR etc), as I have. For example, I've used Strava to track my walking miles at trail work for eight years now. I average over a hundred miles a year. That includes just walking to do hours long projects at single spots. It would be fun if Strava tracked all time hours at each activity too. He wants The SATN Facebook page to be an open forum. Well, that is not why that page was created. It is only for information dissemintation. There are at least two other local mtbing Facebook pages that are designed for open discussions. So his ire about that perplexes me too. I have nothing against the man. This all just seems so strange to me.

No, you are not being too cheap. Check out swapping the front and back. I have a a regimen for my tires, the good bike gets the new ones, passing down its tires to the singlespeed, and then the singlespeed tires go to the urban bike for the final grinding down. I get years out of a set of tires across multiple bikes.

One more season. Lower knobs = less rolling resistance on the BRCT.

LoL at hearing the crowd cheer when he gets into police reform. APD is short 500 cops so crime will just worsen regardless of what this pencilneck says/does.

Yep. The council will have to grow some spines and actually give the taxpayers what they want. 99% of those camps are open drug and prostitution markets. Laws have long been on the books to start addressing this, if the coward judges will prosecute. Seriously hoping the city i loved so much turns it around.

I rode BMX Loop last week and there was a crew cleaning out all of the camps! Glad to finally have this trail back.

I have struggled with cholesterol for years. It's a hereditary thing because I have tried everything and can't seem to bring it down. For a while I had a doctor pushing me to get on statins because my overall number was well over 200, which is why I tried everything to avoid statins. My new doctor was much more pragmatic. Her position was that as long as my LDL was less than 160 I was fine to stay off statins. Because I ride every day, my HDL was high and my eating/drinking habits kept my Triglycerides in check. 7 years ago I had a calcium scan and the score was ~25. Just had one in January and my new number was 140. Statins it is. Step aside lifestyle this is a job for science.

Let's take it back!
