Velo Mike @velomike.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Son got to choose dinner. It was Cheese and Crackers. We had one, not the other. Went to the store after a solid debut of a "Cheese and Crackers" song. He ate peanut butter and crackers because the cheese platter he picked was magically "yucky" once it was home. I ate the cheese with crackers. 050

Normally this wouldn't have been so tiring except I took my 70 lb ebike with the motor turned off. Glad kept the motor off until the hills around Excelsior. They were tough. Velomobiel having a mechanical makes these rides difficult. 151

Velo Mike @velomike.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Sometimes it isn't about distance, or being too busy. Those times are in fact, about the friendship being one sided. That's ok. Be thankful for the clarity. Be nice to them. You no longer need to be kind. There is a difference. So be kind to yourself. 010
