Bikes are fun! I loved ripping around them as a kid, but the moment I got a flat my dad threw his hands up and the bike was forever hung up. Flash forward to adult life and living in a city where owning a car isn't necessary, I commute everywhere by bike. A decent toolkit and youtube are enough to do most things and learning how to do simple repairs and adjustments on my bike has been empowering and satisfying. Working on bikes is a fun mechanical and delicate challenge!
Fun fact: a bike rolling down hill will stay upright longer than a standing bike.

While winter doesn’t normally strip me of my ability to ride my bike, my winter commuter is currently out of commission with a stuck seatpost, so I’ve had to winterize one of my other commuters to serve this purpose - since it’s a nice day out, I just spent the morning giving this a good tune up. It’s a very zen process for me, and I love the fine tuning and little modifications to get everything running all together!
It’s not perfect, I built this whole thing out of stuff from my co-ops parts bin last year, but it’ll get me where I need to go!

BEST COAST NO COAST (technically wrong because we have THE LARGEST BODY OF FRESH WATER IN THE WORLD).
We're stereotyped as being nice; our signature dishes are all things that make you feel more full than a grain silo at the end of the harvest season; the great lakes are beautiful; supper clubs; 4 seasons superiority; relatively mild natural disasters; endless list of artists, musicians, generally successful and prolific people from the midwest; natural wonders galore (driftless region, boundary waters, apostle islands, etc.); eccentric culture and lifestyle; the list goes on and on.
I love being from Wisconsin, and I will never feel bad about it.

It's my favorite thing to get at dim sum! Crispy on the outside, soft and pillowy on the inside—it's a perfect vessel for chili oil and hoisin sauce. Wash it down with hot tea after, of course
