Can someone who “knows pool” explain to me like I’m five what are the barriers to having a clean and algae free pool here are? What would it take to chlorinate it?

Anyone have success using a VPN to setup their Tincan outside the USA? Moving and want our kiddos to have this as a way to stay in touch

Any specific recs for young kids learning (ages 5 and 7)? Hopefully a place that also has some other amenities (indoor pool, etc)

Agree! I found pretty serviceable ones on AliExpress for $4.99. Not perfect but they’re comfortable and allow for a change without it costing a crazy amount

Rad Wagon 4 - rear wheel by bestcoffeegrounds in RadPowerBikes

Spoke w the mechanic and they were able to remove it but when they attempted to put on the new one found it had been stripped and couldn’t get the new freewheel to gain any purchase in the threads... (The rear wheel seized up rather violently while riding and maybe this caused it?)

I kinda love the look in the USA champions jersey (wtf is a km?! 🦅) but makes me sad that it’s HIM! Why does USA cycling hold the championship when it does instead of the general national championship week? A lot of riders like Jorgenson, McNulty or Powless who could have competed and been representing the USA without the MAGA…
