Omg these drivers are so dumb they can't keep the intersection clear (they just can't help themselves) and no one can move even on a green light so nobody is going anywhere and I have to bike around and in between cars because they're dumb fucks and block crosswalks too. Blame that on bike lanes Josh Kraft the dumbest mayor candidate ever.

Rant over.

134 Miles Boston to Provincetown on the bike!

Great fun, despite all three of us getting punctures. My tubeless setup healed itself within 15 mins or so. My friend wasn't so lucky. It was too big for sealant. Thankfully I have the plug.

It was a very hot day to ride this long. Elsa seemed to be not mentally ready for this ride to be so hard. Fact is no matter how strong you are, you start to suffer at some point. To some people it's around 70-80 miles or even 120 miles. To me it's around 100 miles. But a hotdog really helped :)

A lot of cicadas on the cape! Is this year when they come out partying every 17 years?

If you're curious how beautiful Dorchester bay is at 5:30am in the summer......

Too bad you can only see this view from or next to a 6 lane stroad that gets flooded every so often.

Boston Globe even failed to mention the cyclist was on the SIDEWALK when he was murdered by the driver, who drove his Mercedes SUV directly onto the sidewalk. If there were events like MIT commencement, there'd be easily crowds of people on the sidewalk, and the driver would kill many pedestrians.

Is it too much to ask cars to stay on the road?

Edit: capital letters SIDEWALK

New bike day!! Introducing Standert Triebwerk!

It has been over a month in the making, and it turned out fantastic. Maybe even better than I've imagined. I handpicked all the components and parts, and Zach at Back In Action Bikes did a fabulous job building it for me. He hated me for picking a white bar tape because he had to wash his hands 5 times during the build. 🤣

I kinda dig the look of 1x crankset. Looks very clean and neat. This bike has a steel frame, but I slammed all carbon and titanium components on it. So it is only 200 grams heavier than my Pinarello. It rides so smooth. Just cruises along. Not as responsive though. Kinda like driving a CVT vs a PDK.

Boston is really a beautiful city, providing a perfect backdrop for my bike ;)

I'm sure I'll put a lot of miles on it!
