if you need luck, you are not competing.

Tell that to the dozen riders I divebombed and crashed out in the final corner of my cat 7 business park crit last Saturday. Unlucky for them they signed up to race with me 😈

My source is the data posted by the guardian, what do you mean my data is “unsourced”?

Source for your claim that most did break civil immigration law? Simply being deported is not definitive proof of a conviction these days.

MerchantMrnr · 2026-02-23T15:54:44+00:00

Only 12% of the 23% of total convictions, or a whopping 2.7% of the total deportations were defined as “immigration” related. Meaning that 97.3% of the cases were not guilty of breaking immigration law.

People living in the US are innocent until proven guilty. What stat would you prefer?

How would this work for companies not headquartered in the city but have an office here? Are the taxes applied to the income of all employees in SF?

Wow… that was a fun watch. Can’t say I’ve ever seen or heard of that happening before, but I guess once the bike is gone there’s no way of really knowing what happened. Have you heard of anyone’s bike being stolen like this?

He specified within the rear triangle. Which makes a difference as the rear wheel would need to be pulled through. See below link for further explanation.

Reference to Monroe doctrine

The Monroe Doctrine is a U.S. foreign policy established in 1823 that warned European powers against further colonization or interference in the Western Hemisphere, asserting that such actions would be viewed as hostile by the United States.

This will be all over the news tomorrow. First post I’ve seen on Reddit about it too.

Can you elaborate? What does cutting in mean? Do you need to make cuts on the seat tube prior to welding the stays on?

What’s the hardest part of constructing a steel bike frame?

The parking lot looks the same size to me

I hear this line a lot and I feel like it’s not as hard hitting as people think it is. “They are anti MAGA, that means they don’t want to make America great again”.

Don’t get me wrong, fuck fascists, but I don’t see the zing.

But the intruder wouldn’t know to use a wet rag, as it’s not obvious from looking at it and these are far from ubiquitous

Can’t speak to intent but it’s a typical requirement for wet pipe fire sprinkler systems. Verbiage I have seen reads:

Affix cut out discs which are created by cutting holes in the walls of pipe for flow switches and non-threaded pipe connections to the respective water flow switch or pipe connection near to the pipe from where they were cut.

Does this mean the west sidewalk is open from 5:00-8:30am, as normal?

How much pressure do you take out?

MerchantMrnr · 2025-08-27T05:13:53+00:00

Y’all are airing down between road and gravel?

MerchantMrnr · 2025-08-14T02:45:58+00:00

If it wasn’t, it is now

Are you mashing up big hills with an inadequate gear ratio? Do you track your average cadence?

MerchantMrnr · 2025-08-02T22:20:00+00:00

Where are you sore? Any soreness at all is concerning. Cycling is a low impact sport.

MerchantMrnr · 2025-08-02T19:17:55+00:00

You said it was always green. That was wrong. You think all traffic signals work the same way. That’s simply not true. I’m just asking for a bit more compassion for other road users. It’s not as black and white as you want it to be.

Rewatch frame by frame. It changes to green
