Look, I just like bikes, Mike, what can I tell you

Absolutely. Another case from this morning, slighting the incredible work of @gillianbrockell.com (who I HIGHLY recommend supporting), on a story the NYT has consistently neglected for a year: bsky.app/profile/gill...

I’m impressed how much riding there is in winter. We definitely have a climate advantage for those months.

@jwbee.bsky.social we have some work to do

Wow, this looks awesome.

Love it.

I’m sorry, Cliff. I’m glad he was with family. All my best. ❤️

I hope they’re able to make him comfortable. Best wishes.
