Thank you, wxwax, very well said. Nor can I speak for police because I've never walked in their shoes. I listened to an interview of a North Philly documentary filmmaker the other day on Fresh Air, who was profiling a black family who made a …

This was my BMW that I rode all over Mexico and Alaska. I sold it to get a Ural so doggie could come along but I still miss it terribly.

My God this issue is heart-breaking and so hard for a large part of the population to understand. I want to believe that even though I'm a white adult, growing up as the only white boy in a black neighborhood in Oakland helped me understand at …

I don't think I ever fully realized (and maybe I still don't) the angst so many people go through in everyday life. Parents in our neighborhood, wonderful people, out walking their dogs. They have financial independence, they raised a good family …

That time when my derailleur wrapped into my frame on the road when all I had done is down-shifted to the biggest gear in the cluster. The bike shop said the frame would have to be replaced.

There has been a belief among elites for a very long time that it hurts their performance if they go too long between meals or get too hungry. Runner's World had an interesting article about Meb Keflezighi trained to win the Boston Marathon at his …

It really bugs me that more and more, the impression people have of the tech industry is darkening. I tell myself they're thinking of Facebook, Theranos, Uber and Twitter, not Cake, Netflix, Slack, Quora, Pinterest, nVIDIA... But we're becoming …

Amazing that Briggs and Stratton are still around. When I was a kid they were everywhere and I thought they were so loud and crude, but we used them in our go-karts and lawn mowers. They vibrated and smelled, sometimes backfired. When Honda came …

I often ride up Monte Bello Road, above Stevens Creek Reservoir in Cupertino, which leads to a ridge where you can see the world—West over the Santa Cruz Mountains to the ocean, North (this shot) towards San Francisco, or East over the Silicon …

The detail... I don't think I've ever seen that much detail in a photo of an eagle.

Hahaha, that sounds amazing!

That's pretty fascinating. First, that it's portrait mode like SnapChat and the way you use your phone when talking on FaceTime. It seems to me that if they share profits with creators, they have an enormous upside. I don't know how I feel about …

That is one of the most amazing ride reports I have ever read. Those pics of everybody carrying their bikes in the mud... Normally I'm jealous when I read a ride report but this time I was thinking how nice my home and hoodie feel right now. I've …

Ha! My wife frequently mentions she could use more boredom in our lives.

Alcatraz!? I had no idea and I have sailed and swum around Alcatraz many times. Now I see it in the background of some of my photos.

I back up all my photos to Google Photos because facial recognition so I can find things easier without having to tag. This time I typed in love and here's what came back—Adam and Butters, who adore each other. That's a tattoo of Butter's paw on …

Oh my God! I can't even begin to imagine. I've done plenty of centuries and I'm pretty toast by the end on a road bike. It just doesn't compute that someone could go 200 miles on gravel. Jaws to the floor. Great photos too with all that nasty dust …

That's so awesome!! Thanks for keeping us posted. For me there is no greater motivator than meeting customers who love products I work on. And nothing punches me in the gut than someone who says they had a bad experience or don't care.

I watched it! And ever since then I've wanted to do that race. The other one I fantasize about is the Leadville 100. Oh man. The year Lance did it, a whole bunch of my friends went to the theater to watch the, I don't know what it was, interview …

Okay, that's just crazy. Here's the clash I imagine will be epic: listening to the Cambridge Analytica guys, their claim is logic and facts do not win large public debates, only emotion does. There is an old saying in the law: if the facts are on …

That looks amazing! Some of this hit a nerve after my year in Montana and Wyoming running a seismic crew looking for oil and needing permits from the ranchers to cross their land, and a tremendous amount at stake in terms of wealth. I noticed they …

Love Joaquin Miller Park, have run and biked all over that place a zillion times. My Santa Cruz Bronson C waiting for me to ride it across Stevens Creek near Cupertino, CA, and get my shoes soaked:

Ugh, those are horrible thoughts but very telling. I have heard doctors say their patients become far more at risk of health and mental wellness problems when they retire because everyone wants to feel needed, appreciated and liked, and they lose …

Damn, I've wanted to do the Tour Divide for I dunno, 10 years, but it would take me a month I think. I'm interested in following RAAM and the trans am (didn't Marcel Gruber just win that monster? 4164 miles!). The thing with something like the …

HI Katie, it's awesome to see you here! You said something to me that really made me pause, about Ms. Depression, the lover who knows some of us best, who is always willing to visit in the dark of the night when no one else is there. I have …
