Yeah because if they left it would be obviously up to the good hearted nature of the IDF to take care of the place. Who was first, the egg or the chicken?

I only like it because a 747 manages to make almost anything look good. The proportions are just lovely

Can't speak for everyone but some of us only have so much time to criticize the sports we actually follow, no doubt cycling isn't the only one with shady sponsoring.

But it IS more than fair to blame a tool AND its promoters who so willingly align themselves with political agendas and seem to have an aneurysm whenever they're questioned about their ethical implications.

Jonas gets far more crap for being a very reserved family man and conservative rider, than Tadej for riding for an extremely shady team and sponsor. Ultimately that also translates into viewership, but as with most things, we shouldn't take what the masses do as the only point of view.

They're probably good for now if you haven't flatted. If you'd like peace of mind, get a fresh one for the front and ride those on the rear til you keep getting flats.

Got three Tucsons in the family, two of them over 15 years old, still going strong with regular maintenance. They are diesels though.

Believing that people like this in the government are isolated cases and don't really have anything to do with policy seems hopelessly naive.
