I need some positivity. Quote or reply with your favorite bike memory of 2025. It can be a great ride, an advocacy accomplishment, whatever. Let's celebrate bikes.
My personal favorite was finally doing a bikepacking ride up to Portland, Maine! It has me excited for bigger adventures in 2026.

it’s midnight. you are cleaning up the 2nd sleepwalking night terror pee accident of the night (different kids). everyone is back asleep. you lift the soaking wet bathmat to take to the washer and out runs a scorpion. you think fast and smash it with a box baby wipes. you are victorious.

in my head i think of cycling FTP as standing for “functional transfer protocol” because it transfers my ability to function completely away from my body
anyway today’s test resulted in a 5% increase. i was scared and hated most of it but that’s why i did it and will do it again
