I know as well as any of you that I’ve been checked out lately, kind of like Luke Skywalker hiding away on Ahch-To. But unlike Luke – who cut himself off from The Force – I haven’t cut myself off from The V, so I find myself compelled to take a moment out to celebrate Billions and Billions’s sock and shoe game.
Massive love happening here.

You'd have to get Frank to pull his head out of the sand and engage with his community again. Good luck with that.
Pop on over to https://ontherivet.net/ while you are waiting though.
Mr. Stendhal in the comments is either a troll (and he got me!) or wrong, and I respond:
While some of your opinions appeal (Healthy Balance), the rest are rubbish. Instead of being extra careful on downhills, being uniformly careful during all parts of the ride would make much more sense. Riding in the rain is fun and exhilarating, and it is part and parcel of long-distance touring. And yes, I purposely drive in snowstorms to enjoy fishtailing. Life is to be enjoyed, not feared. Furthermore, why not ride on rocks? I don't understand. As for obeying traffic rules, I'm pro-choice on that issue. Obeying ALL of them would be absurd. SAVE YOUR MONEY seems to be an appeal to adopt your exact system of value; no thank you. RESPECT THE ADVERTISERS: the logic of a merchant! "I have spent money on advertising, so that gives YOU the obligation to buy my stuff!" Please, no commercial messages here.
As a troll, you're a pretty good one. As a cyclist, your priorities are suspect.
