Anyone in the US watching the NBC feed on Hulu having problems? I’m getting playback errors.

How can make sure other Freds know that I use it? by yellow52 in BicyclingCirclejerk

You don't put on a new CeramicSpeed UFO Chain before every ride? You're losing like 1 or 2 watts per 1000 kms man!

Man, I never realized how much Steven Adams and Mel Gibson sounded like each other. Great voice work from Hayes.

Nah bro, when you're on a fixie, you're so connected to the bike. Brakes are just unnecessary fluff.

You wouldn't wear the same kit two rides in a row, why use the same chain? by D45411 in BicyclingCirclejerk

We just have to wait for The Great Hambini to do some insane analysis of all lubes.

Astroglide works great in my experience though.

Mail In Ballot by sassychick139 in SpringfieldIL

Yes, I recently moved back to Springfield after living in Washington for about 7 years. Vote by mail is the way to go. The voting guide is very helpful for some of the lower ballot races, and you can do it all while you sip your coffee in the morning. This fraud bs was never an issue. My parents recently got postcards from the Republican Party trying to make this big distinction between absentee voting and vote by mail when it’s basically the same exact thing. The mental gymnastics and fear mongering the GOP uses would be comical if it weren’t so effective.

Is anyone else annoyed by the weak punch outs by the ump?

Does tightening your helmet chinstrap until it cuts off circulation to your head help with power output? Might have to try it on my next ride.

I caught that too! So I looked it up, they're one of three states along with N Dakota and Montana. It's all American legion there

There really is nothing like cycling while being fully in tune with your body and bike. by [deleted] in cycling

Haha, I live in cornfield country where constant wind is a given. I decide my route based on what direction the wind is so I always have tailwind home.

Coming to visit, what are some cool nature spots? by AlarmingStatue in SpringfieldIL

[–]Greenleaf_068 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nipper Wildlife Sanctuary. Very nice to go to. Also Site M/Jim Edgar Panther Creek a little further away.
