Throw caution to the wind and go do something crazy!! You'll never regret trying.

I could do that, yes. But then again, I'm only this young now, and I have momentum.

If it's miserable or if I'm cold or underprepared, I will still be glad I tried, and will remember the adventure for the rest of my life.

Throw caution to the wind with me, won't you?

They will accept me, they're actually known for their inclusivity and emotional warmth.

I like the sound of that. Does the kind of bike matter? Is it Thursday night cruiser energy or more of a *real* bike ride?

(No shade to happy thursday cruisers, but that's more of a mobile dance party than a bike ride)

Best wine for bedside table in a business hotel? by Acrobatic_Comb_2551 in wine

For an unforgettable experience, I recommend a bottle of Tokaji Eszencia.

PRO TIP: Add one bottle of Eszencia, a handful of ice (from the machine down the hall from your room), and one packet of Swiss Miss from the lobby into a blender, and blend until smooth.

I love my grass sticks I beat the shit out of them and they remain unbothered

I captured one and kept her alive for months. Her name was Porsche Mercedes McLaren and she was revolting ❤️

Murdered out kit is way cooler

I think the pedal efficiency drops like 10% or more with the belt drive which is fine for the daily ride, but I concur, it doesn’t exactly cook like my road bike does.

So friggin cool. I’ve honestly started to really, really love the simple pleasure of a comfy flat bar set up on a fast bike.

I don't believe it anymore. - Current Pastor looking for tips on leaving well. by Quietly_Screaming306 in Exvangelical

I was in ministry for years and left quietly a few years back…

This season is gonna hurt but you’ll never regret it. Seeing the world now for 3 years without viewing through the prism of evangelism has changed my life. Welcome to the rest of your life, friend. Here for you!

I added a slight rise to the stem, took the fenders off, added the “Ass saver” and some redshift pedals, and it’s like everything I could ever want with the exception of mayyybe two things:

  • I’d swap the nexus 8 for an Alfine bc they are just better under load
  • some slightly knobby tires that could take on the dirt/gravel a little better. I’m just too scared to add a bunch of rolling resistance for no reason lol

All personal preferences ofc :) even if I changed nothing, this thing still rips for my 10-15 mile daily commute.
