yo_uterus everywhere else. Bikes, esoteric bullshit. Chicago, she/her
In great timing, just learned that the only pedestrianized bridge between the C&O and Harpers Ferry is closed again while I’ll need it. The stated alternatives: shuttle that runs between 9-6, takes bikes when it feels like it Pre-book a transfer with a touring company
All small chicago cyclists are cordially invited to buy my crosscheck. Solid af set up for touring but you can do whatever on it
Hi #bikechi has anyone ridden North Branch Trail or North Shore Channel trail lately? How’s storm clean up going? NSCT was really dicey Monday afternoon
I wasted like 19 years of my life being meh on eggs cause my whole family is hard only and I’d never actually had them any of the ways I prefer them
It took me 3 miles to adjust to my bibs this morning because I haven’t worn an actually new and fresh chamois in like 2 years 😂
People are really out here posting their cat 5 crit videos like we’re supposed to be impressed
Track Nationals are this week which means it's my rare chance to maybe make a 1/2/3 podium in a state race I count all my W even when it's just because I was there
7 days of normal work until i'm at confrence and then it's tour time so get ready for a lot of ride posting ahead
Dems could be the party of law and order via saying America should adhere to international law for the first time in 25 years
trying to decide if i think i can ride the shoes i just got enough between now and august 1 to trust them on tour. they're nicer so if i can get like one good 60 mile day in on them it's probably worth it to switch but i reaaaaally want to ride my road bike some too

I have a personal rule that when you see the Skokie Swift you must be swift but 10/10 times it does confuse my riding partner about why we’re sprinting now. I will always cherish my yellow line intervals
I can't stop revisiting Backstreet Boy's "Incomplete" music video as the perfect encapsulation of an era
My client call today opened with them saying to me “Girl you look tired” 💀
Ace of Base “The Sign” is my fav pop song about semiotics
Shout out to everyone who has ever been a community moderator truly a thankless job
I've had this for 2 weeks, put on just over 200 miles, and can now definitely say 1,000,000/10 no notes
USDA Crit Beef Inspector@youterus.bsky.social · 4w agoLFG IT’S BIKE CAMPING TIME
thinking about how much my primary riding buddy & i will "kids these days" about how people can't deviate from a planned route or make their own despite being people who ride over 5k miles a year ok fair both of us used to do 60+ mile rides w/o navigation on the regular & most would not choose that
so dang excited to go bike camping this weekend at one of my favorite spots on my new bike this is gonna be the real test of how much more i like this than the bike i toured on for 13 years
So if you ride with power strava gives you a graph of your performance strength and today I saw someone with a circle and just what is that like cause mine looks like a bugle in favor of sprinting power
Honestly a shame the UCI hasn't banned ugly ass aero helmets for being crimes against aesthetics but I guess they're too busy making it harder for small people to ride bikes that fit them for "safety"
It's time to remember my upstairs neighbor is from Argentina again
look at my bike in my dirty apartment with all its things on it much less aesthetic, non-drive side, but really excited for the years of adventure ahead

Several years ago I made a custom sturgeon fender with groundkeeper. I'm doing a fresh one sized for road and gravel bikes with my fav sturgeon, the critically endangered pallid sturgeon. You can get one if you want, be a Big Fish Fan: groundkeepercustom.com/collections/...
feeling very 😎 that 3/4 of the last sprints i've done have all topped 900w love to be objectively both fitter than i've ever been and slower than my peak simultaneously
planning my birthday vacation and i just gotta say i fucking hate horses
If you or someone you know is between 4’11” and 5’3” and is looking for a cool deal on an adventure bike, buy my surly cross check! It’s a 2012 size 42 frame and fork and literally everything else on it has been upgraded.
