    I thought it was mandatory for everyone in this state to have a fat bike?

    Having switched from a mountain bike to a road bike 15 years ago and greatly enjoyed the amazing difference in speed, I simply cannot imagine what the purpose of a fat bike is other than to force yourself to work too hard to go too slow.

    I would if I could. Those little things are elegant.

    A 7.92mm Mondragon with snail magazine would be about as cool, as would the properly regulated Winchester 351. There's a Lafayette Escadrille-marked example that makes the rounds of the gun shows here.

    The weather probably helps keep things calm, but I think the word has also been passed down that riots are not helping the left's agenda this close to the election.

    That's fine, but when I'm riding on pavement, I keep asking why I'm doing it. The answer is usually to get to the dirt.

    I'm struggling with that decision. It seems like an automatic new trial if they get any convictions and there are appeals.

    Really adds to the "railroading" narrative.
