I get up at ungodly hours a.m. PDT to watch cycling bike races over the internet streams. Then, maybe, I write about that.

Which company sold these fatbikes to the Minneapolis PD, y’know the police department that murdered George Floyd & subsequently had their contracts terminated by the Minneapolis School District and other institutions??????

Trek catfishing with a feel-good posi Instagram message in response to George Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapolis PD, when IRL they profit from sales to police departments. Here’s Philadelphia PD cops, who got off their shiny Trek bikes to beat up protesters.

I guess this is a Defund Trek (and other profiteers) Tumblr now! What other bike companies & cycling equipment/accessory companies sell to cops? Maybe it’s quicker to ask what cycling-adjacent companies’ social media posts about George Floyd are backed by concrete actions of not taking a goddamn dime from police departments?

What are YOU gonna do to make sure these two-faced profiteers like Trek won’t double dip into your bank account by selling you products AND your tax payments by selling to cops who beat up protesters?

Trek: proudly supporting cops! Trek profited from supporting doping at the highest level of pro cycling. They also sell bikes to these lame-ass bike cops, thereby profiting from harassment and violence against Black Americans. Tell them to STOP IT ALREADY!!!

Use 50/50 magnesium-based liquid antacid & water solution if you get gassed. Facial recognition gets confused by asymmetrical faces. Wear your helmet & shatter-proof goggles. If you have to stay indoors, donate to bail funds and legal aid orgs. If not now, when?!?! Stay safe out there, friends!

And so begins the final drama In the streets and in the fields We stand unbowed before their armor We defy their guns and shields When we fight provoked by their aggression Let us be inspired by like and love For though they offer us concessions Change will not come from above —The Internationale, English lyrics by Billy Bragg

PROTIP: Before heading to a protest, mix a 50/50 solution of Maalox and water in a spray bottle. Use on areas affected by pepper spray or teargas as first aid. Change out of your clothes ASAP, double bag in trash bags, and seal it well to avoid further contamination. Get under a cold shower for 30 min. Rinse, lather, repeat until true equality and freedom for all ❤️🖤❤️🖤

Today’s VueLOLta stage winner Valerio Conti has been on my Eyebrows to Watch list for luxuriously thick and meticulously groomed brows. His career highlight was not winning a GT stage today, but getting his phone wet with prosecco foam.

Check Simon Yates’ ridiculously, unreasonably bulky and huge helmet for a motor

My favest daily Vuelta moment is when the stage winner is allowed to take just ONE sip of cava, then is directed by a podium hostess to put the full bottle in the recycling. And how the podium hostess’s struggle is so fucking real to communicate this counter-intuitive protocol across language barriers.

My boo ascended to the Iron Throne. Only dragons or a poisoned chalice can unseat him.
