You're required to have a bell unless your bike has 'been equipped for racing ' or some such clause.

Worth noting that at night, I usually have four lights on the bike - two front and two rear. Yet I'm still not compliant with the law, which stipulates the physical size of the light, not how bright it should be. Those laws haven't been updated in more than half a century AFAIK.

They're talking about a giveaway budget due to booming corporate tax receipts and an upcoming election. Maybe it could be acquired for the state...

In a way, it's kinda funny that bikes don't come with pedals but do come with saddles. I understand the former for obvious reasons, but there really should be an option to buy a bike without a saddle.

Challenge Roth in Germany - he seems unhappy about it, actually! He had done a half Ironman recently and struggled with stomach cramps after the transition from bike to foot. Not sure yet if he had similar issues yesterday.

Checking into a hotel in Westport, and there's a painting at reception of the virgin Mary cradling pope JPII.

My boss did an ironman yesterday. Eleven and a half hours too. 16mph is 26kmh, nothing shabby about that over that distance.

Some obnoxious techbro or an oil baron
