Well that’s no good – I like to read your handle as ‘Andy’s tow’ – like you’re always happy for some poor struggling soul to jump on the wheel for a bit – but that capital ‘S’ has gone and ruined things.
Sorry to ruin it. I don’t spend a lot of time being drafted. When I ride with the fast guys, I end up hanging onto the back. When I ride with slower riders, they generally won’t draft even if I encourage them to. So my group rides are either zone 1 at 12 MPH, or zone 4 hoping they’ll ease off a little bit soon.
I enjoy both, of course.

If you haven’t seen it, Peoria Area Scanner & Dashcam has a video of it from a dashcam posted on Facebook.
I came up on the accident while they were loading the victim onto the stretcher. It was a 19 year old girl, she actually responded to the dashcam footage on FB and said that she broke her back in two places.
My husband broke his back this summer so I now know more about spinal fractures than I ever thought I’d need to know. I reckon she’ll have an easier recovery at 19 than my husband’s had at 44. A lot of people were praying for her today, I’m so glad that she’s (relatively) ok. There was a fatal accident practically spitting distance from there in July, in that case it was a drunk 16 year old who killed her friend 🙁
Here’s the video, if you have Facebook.

I can’t find a news story, but this is just across the river from me. It’s done quite a number on that telephone pole. I’ve biked on this stretch of road about a half dozen times.
Caution: Car roll over on Springfield road.
byu/mald530 inPeoriaILSomewhere around here. It’s a shitty 45 MPH road with no shoulder. I have a better route now.
I disabled my X/Twitter
I disabled my X/Twitter account months ago when my feed was filled with thinly disguised porn, racism, and “watch people die” videos.
I mostly miss cycling Twitter and the World Bollard Association. I’m on Reddit, which is way better than X, but I may try BlueSky.
It will be worth the time invested, I’m sure. Hoping that you’ll post a review of some kind.Based on my experience with the Hunt wheels, I might do a review on their durability in three or four years.

Front wheel trued and tensioned last night. I think it took me well over an hour.
Latest Private Eye:Some kind of ratchet in that hub? It doesn’t look like he can even push the pedal all the way to horizontal.

Very baaaad driving.
A “normal” 10-15 drive is an admission of the short distances so many cars are used for.Depends where. My driving commute to work is 15 minutes, but not many others would consider cycling the nine miles each way even if there were a nice safe, flat route. There’s no traffic where I live, though.
A 15 minute driving commute in Chicago or London rush hour is probably under four miles, which a lot more people might consider cycling.

Before my trip I trued the wheel with the zip tie trick. A truing stand makes it a little easier.
