I've been on a WWI 'kick' for about the past year- we all know what 'no man's land is' but few have spent the time to research what life in the trenches were like. I'm man enough to say that one of the realities they faced every day was... rats! Fuck those vermin.

But going back to the plague carriers- while the troops (on both sides mind you) manned their posts- they had to listen to the vermin/rats feasting on their friends (they couldn't collect their bodies) and the most cringe worthy part of this factoid- not all of the folks that the rats feasted on were deceased at the time....such a horrible fate and for what? Coca-cola and Nike I guess?

We all mock bike people but in a race..that sucks

I rode my friends “race” bike a few times

1, insane how efficient it is there is almost zero drag

2, it’s so uncomfortable. Even compared to a regular road bike Having your ass up that high..you don’t understand until you do it once

3, sooo unstable, you don’t dare shift weight too much on your elbows.

4, it was windy one time and the slab side rim is like a sail, you get pushed all over

I think he tried to move his arm position and fell forward. If you’re doing a TT and trying to put in a good time you’re going to be on the limit.

I can’t imagine running a disk, even my 40mm rims get buffeted some days.

When he hit that bump, the bars rotated downward, causing his balance to shift forward.

When I first watched it, it appeared the bars broke from the impact of the bump. Watching it on a phone makes it hard to tell though.
 
Seniors last day when I was a sophomore, things were getting a little rowdy. Most of the kids were outside partying. 10-12 cops were trying to keep things from getting out of hand. I watched 2 senior girls take off in a cop car. o_O
I had an instructor in auto tech who said he stole a cop car once. Getting drunk somewhere throwing rocks at trucks on the road and running and hiding. Cop shows up he runs. Cop chases, he just runs around the building when he comes bqck around to the front the car is running door is open and cherries are on.

He is like i jump in drive off. I was laughing tearing down dirt roads spinning donuts and shit and all at once he said he realized. I can't unsteel this cop car. Like I can't just go give it back and we all have a good laugh.

He said he never did get caught and the crime was never reported or talked about publicly. The town is less then 1500 so word gets around. 🤣🤣🤣
 
Was out one night and it was snowing pretty good. saw a car full of kids and the driver had put the car in the ditch.

I stopped to see if I could help.

Grabbed the tow strap and told the driver to hook it up to his car.

He crawls under the little Cavalier and he’s under there for a while.

He comes back out and says ok, go ahead.

So I slowly start backing up and the car didn’t budge.

Got a bit of a running start and when the truck moved, it pulled the rear coil spring right out from under the car!

Then I found it it was his girlfriends car!

I’m sure her dad was real happy when he had to get a tow truck to get it to the shop!
