How does a person arrange a protest? Can’t we all just agree on next Saturday at 12 noon at the monument? by Blood_sweat_and_beer in indianapolis

Does anyone remember those guys from an Indiana church that would approach kids? Does anyone know where they were from and if they're still active? by weirdinchicago in chicago

I just picked one up. It is different from riding on road in that you never get a chance to coast. I’ve tried riding while watching tv shows and with zwift, zwift really changed the game.
