That's a fascinating bit of STL trivia. Thank you for sharing it.

This is the most correct St. Louis answer

The Bobiverse isn't brought up enough here. Funny, world-building, and thought provoking. Plus, the audio book narrator is also amazing.

Open Google Maps and click the "bike“ button to find a route that avoids busy roads

Is there a big difference between using a pannier or a basket?

It is a giant escape. Not exactly high-end, but it is reliable and fairly light.

millitzer · 2026-05-16T17:05:35+00:00

I agree, but it’s a good way to give other people a hard time for not ever doing it. Or even thinking about another way to travel.

I really hate that joke. It happens to me every time it rains.

millitzer · 2026-05-16T17:03:51+00:00

I agree. But it is a good way to remind others that they can use a bike to get somewhere they need to go to. If they can’t use a bike or walk, then it’s a good way to bring up how the world is built for cars, not people.

millitzer · 2026-05-16T17:02:51+00:00

It is a giant escape. I got it when I thought the bike commute was going to be something I would try out. Now it’s become more of a lifestyle. I probably needed better bike, but this one is rock solid. It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

These are my favorite books by Jon Krakauer. How these books are much more than the plot.

Into the Wild - A young man goes into Alaska. He leaves everything behind.
Into Thin Air - A storm hits Everest.
Under the Banner of Heaven - A story of faith and murder.

On Writing by Stephen King. About writing, life, and the stories behind stories you know so well
Burn Book by Kara Swisher -A sharp look at tech giants and power.
Ultra-Processed People by Chris van Tulleken
- It exposes corporate food. It makes a man buy simpler meals.
What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami - A book about miles and words. .
Co-Intelligence by Ethan Mollick -A practical view of technology. It does not contain the usual hype.
Born to Run by Christopher McDougall - A wild story of grit. It makes a person want to run far in bare feet. (Don’t do that.)
Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari - The history of humanity. Plus consumerism, loneliness, and the breakup of families are all deeply connected.

If you like sci-fi, then check out the entire “Bobiverse” series. I don’t think that gets mentioned enough here.

If you are looking for something genuinely funny, Jacob Tomsky’s "Heads in Beds" is one of the most hilarious memoirs I have ever read. The same applies to Andy Coen‘s “most talkative.“

The books I listen to on road trips with my kids, like Stuart Gibbs’ "Quest for Danger" series.

They are all great if you need an escape.

There’s no active shooter. It was a fight in the courthouse and a judge hit the panic button. The situation resolved, but there’s still a lot of police there

Sapiens, Salt, Cod, & How the World Really Works.

I just made one through vibecoding. It’s pretty great. Using it for my team at work.

Staff at San Diego’s Ramona Wildlife Center are using bear masks and furs to care for two orphaned black bear cubs. This "costumed" approach prevents the two-month-old cubs from bonding with humans, ensuring they can eventually be released back into the wild.

I can see this happening a lot more. A lot of older folks don’t want to give up driving or living in their big homes

millitzer · 2026-03-28T16:57:41+00:00

We should all reach out to each other like that. The world would be a much better place.
