  • Back in college, I parked mine closeish to downtown and campus. I was running late and going to miss the bus for an away lacrosse game. Normally I’d walk or skate but I knew I was going to miss the bus if I did, so I booked it on the bike, barely making it on time. I parked it in the closest bike rack with a U Lock and when I came back into town 3 days later someone kicked the shit out of it. The wheels were destroyed, but the frame was salvageable. It was either a thief that was angry they couldn’t get past the lock, or just some drunk idiot who thought it’d be funny to kick a bike. People suck… I had to spend a hundred bucks or so that I didn’t have on new wheels.



  • I’m going to be that guy about GMO crops. If we were modifying them to be drought resistant or need less water, I’d be all for it. Instead, what we modify them for is to be “roundup ready” meaning that glyphosate can be sprayed liberally on it without killing it making weeding the field much easier. I am not concerned about the GMO crop, but I am concerned with all my food being covered in Roundup.
