Mechanical parts break down eventually. @pete asks:

Q8. I think I jinxed things the other week with my 'do you repair?' question and somehow snapped a rear axle last weekend: What's the most recent component that you broke or wore out, and have you managed to get it fixed?

2 economists heading to a meeting at Europe's largest asset manager and the world's largest insurer...by bike, of course — fastest way to get across town from ifo econ think tank to Allianz HQ.

A couple days ago I posted a joke here about having seen Roadrunners and Coyotes while #cycling when I was riding through Acme Iowa. I found the picture of the Roadrunner, from April 2023 when I was riding the Kern River Parkway Trail outside of Bakersfield California.

Meep meep.
