@Cyclocosm This was our entire strategy in collegiate cycling in the days before ubiquitous video cameras at the finish line.

If you're within the first dozen riders at the end of a pro bike race, you need to 100% pretend like you won, because chances are the race organizers have zero clue and mostly just don't want to look bad.

nobody: literally not anybody: bike industry: let's add another cassette cog

Did you know that you can download and backup your @Strava data? Here's how:#Bulk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">support.strava.com/hc/en-us/artic…

@dancohen Thanks, @dancohen! Great to hear from you!

@slavonia loved your piece on the Cox E-Z Flyer on WITI today, hilarious and brutally true

@GreenScrubs1177 @cptm_n3m0 Sure! I think you can make a copy without any permissions, but if that doesn’t work, request viewer access on Google and I’ll grant it. Then you can definitely make a copy.

@slavonia @cptm_n3m0 @slavonia could I trouble you to be able to access this too please? I was planning to use it to make a Christmas present!

Here's a template to make your own Ron Swanson "Pyramid of Greatness": docs.google.com/present/edit?i… #parksandrec

Went for my first Tesla FSD beta ride this morning, with @slavonia at the wheel in heavy downtown SF driving. 10 min drive w 3 interventions necessary. It did a v good job of perceiving and anticipating pedestrians around us, but the interventions were all other-vehicle related.

I wrote today’s edition of @WhyInteresting

@ryantomorrow I'm just glad I was there to see it.

@AMTetrick How about “A Voyage for Madmen”, about the 1968 solo nonstop round-the-world yacht race?

And now... book recommendations please. I like nonfiction. Please and thank you.

@JaniceForBART BART Starrs is almost too easy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bart_Starr

@mlroach So your grandparents must be stoked!

@lauren1717 @thedirtfield Most of these, with the exception of some Rapha rides, are early morning, and none of them are really downtown but SF isn't that big. It's 4 miles to the GG bridge and 3 miles to Golden Gate Park.

@lauren1717 @thedirtfield here's a quick summary - Roasters, 8:00 am Saturday, south side of GG Bridge. Fatcake, MTTh a.m., check out fatcake.cc/rides. Rapha has rides, and my club, the SFCC, has our legendary Friday morning Coffee Ride, 6:15 am at Fell and Baker.

@lauren1717 @thedirtfield Oh hey Lindsay Goldman, friend of @lauren1717m. Yes, there are lots of group rides in San Francisco. Most meet at the Golden Gate Bridge and go north into Marin, a few weekday morning meetups stay in the city. DM and I'll send a list.

I didn’t write this edition of @WhyInteresting about a very special Bay Area gas station but I wish I had. It’s great.

I guest-wrote another edition of @WhyInteresting for today

@matt_levine Hi Matt - is this still the way to subscribe? I tried to subscribe on May 19 but instead of getting the newsletter by email, Bloomberg sends me an email with a link to the newsletter, which is behind an article-limited paywall, not the newsletter itself.

@bwagy Check your bucket. open.spotify.com/track/5KrJbRYC…

I have a note to myself to "check the...." and I didn't finish my sentence, cannot for the life of me figure out what it is 🤦‍♂️

@mlroach It's like they learned nothing from the live squid giveaway debacle.

@ryantomorrow How about “Three is a Magic Number”? Go with the Bob Dorough/Schoolhouse Rock version.
