its really starting to seem like the wolves are never going to lose a game and that i am never going to die

I still love all my acoustic bikes, but the vibe of riding the tern e-bike to go get a coffee after the gym, then cruise around the neighborhood with low effort while sipping that coffee. Can’t beat it. So delightful.

I’ve been trying to make up a reason to ride my new cargo bike somewhere after work and I’m struggling. I know it’s ok to just go for a ride, but it’s fun to have a task as well!

Power company cut our electricity yesterday with no notice for most of the day, so I had no internet to do my silly job. I used the opportunity to bike around town doing various errands. Weather was perfect, and it was glorious. Today I’m working again, and I hate it.

tfw it’s NBA opening day

Good morning. The lake is calm.

Oh goodness, I’ve joined the cargo bike community. What accessories do I need for the @ternbicycles.com HSD?

Love when an issue comes up at work and my coworkers all just start sharing Claude at each other… I’m not reading all that…

Update on this. I bought a ticket to Thailand, gonna ride some motorcycles and take a sleeper train and do beach

I need to make it a point to do more bicycle races for fun next year. I used to look forward to them so much, and I’m not sure why I stopped.

Kind of wish that there was a roller skating rink in my neighborhood

IT PASSED IT PASSED IT PASSED AUTOMATIC TICKETING FOR OBSTRUCTING BIKE AND BUS LANES WILL EXPAND CITYWIDE!!

So the entire cast of battlestar galactica is in Carrie? Amazing.

I’ve had this conversation once a month for the past year.

I love strapping my taco bell into the divvy basket.

I went to the concert and it was fun. Go figure.

If I needed to pick a safe word I would pick “Baconater”

Purchased concert tickets when I was feeling good and happy, the day of the concert has arrived and I am now regretting it.

I’ve been pretty lucky over the past 12 years to only have to deal with two lay offs. Feeling tentatively secure, but my industry is dying an AI death. I honestly worry more about what comes for the generations after us. Anyway… cheers to turning 40 next month

wild that this is exactly what using a computer is like now

Ok, I have 3 weeks off from work in November for my birthday. I’ve been struggling to think of what I want to do with that time. Maybe I buy the Amtrak pass and bring my bike on a tour of the US?

Maybe it’s because I’m subconsciously comparing everyone to Mandani, but looking through the options for Chicago Mayor this year was… underwhelming

I would equally love a bunch of smaller ones that come in a tube like a Toblerone.

Having a hard time deciding what to pick for my winter hobby this year. Will consider all suggestions.

It may only be Wednesday, but Survivor is back tonight, which means I get to go to my favorite pizza place and yell at the TV with friends and strangers. I can't wait.

Went to a wedding this weekend. It was really nice to dress up and see so many friends

Oh my god the forecast looks like ramen season and I’m very excited.

I’ve figured it out. Time for a capybara tattoo to match the possum tattoo.

This is the real me by the way.

Maybe it’s the incoming fall weather, but it feels like I need another tattoo.

Got the annual membership two years ago and never looking back. The little e-bike basket is perfect for transporting tacos home btw.

One more day until Robyn concert, Broccoli and I both woke up very excited. He doesn’t know he can’t go yet.

Skyline in September. Today on the first day of the month in Chicago.

Ive figured it out. The more artists I follow on bluesky the better it gets!

I definitely already have “enough” bikes, but every time I see a Brompton I think I need one more bike.

The only thing I like about summer is wearing jean shorts everyday.

After nearly three years of wearing my whoop everyday I’ve cancelled my subscription. Just need a sale on garmin watches to show up now.

I’m able to take 3 weeks off of work in November for my 40th birthday. I need to figure out where in the world I should go! I want to ride trains, motorcycles and bicycles. Beaches or mountains. Currently paralyzed on choosing because there are so many options.

Is it just me or have the freewheels on bikes become insanely loud? Is that a thing now? Like obnoxious mufflers on cars?

For a junk drawer to legally qualify as a real junk drawer, what is the ONE absolute mandatory item it must include? Leftover screws and Allen wrenches from building furniture. Also miscellaneous stickers.

What a bummer! Green Machine helped me build my Gunnar during the pandemic. Sad news.

I took this upcoming Friday and Monday off, not realizing it’s Market Days. Might try and find a way to get out of the city to avoid it, maybe ride my bike to Milwaukee.
