New gravel bike. I didn’t have a say in the paint ( I hate black, too toxic) but wood fenders and a Brooks saddle and different grip tape should give it a new look.

No idea if Shawne will win one of THREE open Tigard city council seats. But as someone who has run for office, and lost in a landslide, I can tell you that every donation made a difference, and sustained me for future action. I don't know what our future holds but I know we need more Shawnes.

Does replacing parking with bike-lanes hurt restaurant business? Of course not, as this new peer-reviewed STUDY of 15 years of Montreal data showed. ACTUALLY, downtown experienced significant restaurant growth after bike lanes were installed. @momentummag.bsky.social momentummag.com/do-bike-lane...

Having bad allergies? Don't buy the overpriced name brand stuff. Generic Claritin (loratadine) is typically <$10 for a bottle of 100 at any US grocery store but often stashed behind the counter. Ask the pharmacist for generic options.
