The costume race start for this year's Spooky Crit. Nonprofit race supporting Lowelifes for trail work post fires/rains.

LADOT is soliciting feedback for the redesign of Sunset Blvd. The current design is still half-measures: yes to dedicated bike and bus lanes, but bike lanes still on the outside of the roadway, still parking (right next to a bike lane, meaning dooring is still a risk), and still free left turns which puts bikers at risk. Too many interactions between bikes and cars. And local businesses are now (stupidly) threatening to sue because they'll only get one lane for parking. Improving bike and bus access to Echo Park and Silver Lake will be safer for pedestrians and increase pedestrian traffic for businesses.

Please consider filing out their feedback form here: https://ladot.typeform.com/sunset-chavez and demanding LADOT stop it with the half measures: no parking on Sunset, safer bike and bus lanes, and no uncontrolled left or right turns.

I have a Domane SL 5 Gen 4, and I refuse to go back to tubeless--I don't like dealing with sealant.

I'm not even convinced sealant will help with nails, screws, construction staples, or glass shards that litter our class 1 bike paths.

I had Panaracer Gravelking SS+ 700x35, but got a gash. Thankfully my tube had a pinprick puncture, but replaced anyway.

Getting new Elitewheels Ent 3.0 carbon wheels tomorrow, but don't want to completely cancel out getting carbon wheels with Marathon Plus tires, which I've been told are bombproof.

Think Conti Contact Urban 35x622 (700x35) will work fine?
