Baltimore cyclists showed out today to ride for Alex Pretti in opposition of ICE
A bunch of cyclists riding en masse on a city street. The street is very salty and huge mounds of snow can be seen on the corners. It's cloudy and grey.

From Angry Catfish, independent bicycle shop in Minneapolis
Alex Pretti was a customer of ACF. A member of our local cycling community. An integral community member serving as a nurse at our local VA hospital. Murdered while standing up to bullies in his city. Then falsely smeared in the media as an agitator with an agenda. Do not believe the lies. He could be any one of us standing against evil, but evil cannot get us all if we stand against it!

hold on, HOW DID HE GET TO CLASS!?

www.nytimes.com/athletic/117...
When Alonso first got to campus, he would bike to class. But then the bike was stolen or it broke — Reed can’t remember which — and Alonso acquired a long skateboard to ride around. The craze caught hold in the Gators’ locker room — first Reed, then a few others, then a few more. “He got us started,” Reed said. “Pete being Pete.”

Bikemore's first charity Jingle Bell Ride to St. Vincent de Paul to deliver donations and hang out with the families at the shelter. I believe Saturday morning coffee ride will be meeting the group at Wyman Park as well.
Bikemore is having its first Jingle Bell Ride on Saturday, December 13. This is a community-driven, charity event where our Family Biking Coordinator, Cora Karim, will lead a short, casual, no-drop, family-friendly ride from Wyman Park Dell at 11:00AM to our friends at the St. Vincent de Paul Shelter (1114 N Mount St, Baltimore, MD 21217). Donations are not necessary for the shelter, but they are encouraged. See this list for donations needed. There will be pre-checkpoints in Upper Fells Point at the corner of Wolfe St. and Gough St at 10:00AM; Federal Hill/Inner Harbor behind the Lutheran World Relief at 700 Light St. at 10:20AM; and East Mount Vernon Place at 10:40AM. We will ride north on the Maryland Ave. bike lane and stop at Wyman Park Dell to meet with all the folks who will be riding with us. The ride will be pretty direct, as we want to ease the stress and invite all families and kids to ride along with us on bike paths and low stress streets. Due to this, from Wyman Park Dell we will ride south down onto the Maryland Ave. bike path and go westward onto the Big Jump’s 28th St. bike path all the way to Druid Hill Park. We will ride the loop once or twice and make our way towards St. Vincent de Paul using a low-stress path southwards from the loop. We will have cookie decorating in their cafeteria and get to know the families and kids who are sheltering there from 12:00PM to 1:00PM. Bring your e-cargo bike, analog bike, tandem bike, velocipede, penny farthing, fixed or single gear bike, and come join us on this fun, joyful ride that shows the city what biking is: community!

When we published our Super Speeders research, it made someone mad.

Whoever that was figured out my home address, and sent me multiple packages as veiled threats.

China is bringing the hammer down on hyper-fast EVs, setting a minimum 5 seconds for accelerating from 0 to 100 KMH (62 MPH).

For context, the Rivian R1S hits 60 MPH in 2.6 seconds, as does the Tesla Cybertruck in "Beast Mode." (H/t @reillybrennan.com)
China mulls limiting cars' default performance as EV crashes frequently occur
China plans to require passenger vehicles to default to a state where acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes less than five seconds upon each startup.
