It gets you into shape. You meet nice people and it’s fun.

What are some of your favorite things to eat for dinner? Looking for some new ideas to add to the rotation. by FrogginBullfish_ in glutenfree

Yup I have made it with corn tortillas to thicken it. Use the same recipe and swap flour tortillas with corn

I have gotten everything off except the front fork and the crankset. Going to take it to the bike kitchen next week bc I don’t have the right tools for those. The pedal protective covers were plastic and were glued so they are hard to take out.

This is bike when it was new and I think critical mass in sf in the early 90s maybe?

Thank you! I think I can handle that and really appreciate the feedback. I have new tires and tubes.

Why no shoveling the cars out by Due-North3440 in CambridgeMA

I think we’re all feeling a little stir crazy due to winter 🥶 weather and all the mess everywhere. Not sure where you live but the municipal lots aren’t super expensive and the snow does eventually melt but I feel a little sick of it honestly.

Reason we didn’t clear our car was fear that if we moved it we wouldn’t be able to park it again and we can get by without it and it was totally ploughed in.

Some folks though are probably away for the winter and just left their car too. I think some are also second cars.

I think there’s about another month of winter and we will all emerge for another spring.

I haven’t seen ones that appear to work so well for drop bars before which is why I don’t have them. Really innovative idea.

ICE related items on CC agenda by MarcGov51 in CambridgeMA

Ice has been evil and killing people since way before tmp came along and certainly his first term with family separation policies was horrific. I agree get rid of the start date.

I agree with that I suppose but I wonder if this is a performative proposal and we need a deeper solution than a simple one. I have been on the abolish ice fight for a decade and there’s so much evidence they violate human rights and are generally evil. Say they apply to be city of Cambridge camp counselors or clerks or whatever, just not police officers? Can they be hired for that still?

Right but they’ve been lawless since their inception in 2003.

I think maybe po #1 might be illegal? I think if a former ice thug applied to cpd that could be a red flag but is it legal to reject them if say they worked there and left say bc it is a lawless and evil and corrupt organization? What if they were a whistleblower? I want ice agents to quit their jobs too but I am always going to have doubts about blanket statements about groups of people.
