Not exactly sure.
I have a Trek hybrid that's been collecting dust in my garage for 20 years. I suppose some new tires and inner tubes would do the trick. More than happy to give it to you
Wow, that’s a heck of a deal. If I get directed that way before I get one I will definitely give you a shout out.

I watched a Liam Neeson movie called Cold Pursuit. I think it was kind of a black comedy. Needless to say he killed a lot of people.

I look at those and imagine going around a corner and you see a steep decline you’ve started. Full throttle and no brakes.
At least this has a hand brake on the rear wheel. You can also apply back pressure on the pedals to reduce speed.

There are a couple three guys who ride unicycles on RAGBRAI. Some of the hills they navigate would scare the hell out of me on a uni but they manage. Not for the faint of heart.

I’m thinking the old ones where if the tire got rolling it was like the old days when you’re 6 and you kick the legs out sideways and pray you don’t die. Back pressure would break a leg on the original ones.

For those who haven’t attended any of this year’s Big12 tournament games in person: a view of the floor from an end. Makes me think of railroad tracks.

It wasn't too awful bad from the side. In fact, some of the folks around us didn't even realize it was repeated XIIs.

No ISU or any other original Big 12 team in the mbb tournament final, and this is the crowd.

Slightly better but not a whole lot better than the wbb Semis. I didn't attend the finals.
For the women they never bothered to raise the balcony curtains.
And to me that kind of defeats the purpose of making them play in T-Mobile. But that ship has sailed.

They should have left it alone and taken advantage of the crossover fans. Wonder how much beer and food P&L has leftover?
More Houston than AZ fans?

Not sure. In our section I’ve seen/heard Arizona (U of A), Houston, Iowa State, Kansas, K-State, etc. :)
Way more here to watch than to cheer one team or the other.

I'm glad we decided unload our tickets and head home...I've got a full-blown cold going on; I would have been miserable there. :(
