The direct quotes weren’t an issue, in my reading. It was the lead-ins or other words surrounding quotes that gave me heartburn, which makes me wonder what was said to lead the reporter to that interpretation and how much inherent bias there was….
Yeah, agree. She and I ride together a lot, especially during Freezing Saddles. The article makes her out to be the “scofflaw cyclist” caricature, which is entirely inaccurate and not what anyone would have taken from talking to her.
I initially had emailed the writer after he reached out on Twitter, and gave my opinion on the new rule both as a bike advocate and as a husband who likes his wife coming home from work safely. On both of these fronts, the new rule is an improvement. He didn’t care much about what I had to say and just wanted to talk to someone who actually would be likely to put their bike on Metro at rush hour, which I’m unlikely to do with any regularity. On one hand I get this, but on the other I made some frankly awesome points that never made it into the article.

Not that she cuts off cars. The rest is just presented a little misleadingly

He misquoted my wife and made her sound like an asshole
jrenautParticipantI bought one at the kickoff happy hour and was very pleasantly surprised at the quality. Often when you get custom stuff like this in bulk that isn’t the case, but these bands are really nice. Well worth the $2 for the usefulness alone.
jrenautParticipantI’ve talked to Rachel, we’ll take care of it

jrenautParticipantWe can compromise – these miles count as long as you’re climbing. Downhill miles do not count.
jrenautParticipantUgh, sorry to hear about the crash and glad it wasn’t worse. Heal up quickly!

On the “People” page (https://www.freezingsaddles.org/people/) – the week is set to be Sunday-Saturday.
Oh, I forgot that had weekly data on it. I’ve updated it to use the same week as everything else, you should see the changes soon

Is FS week Monday-Sunday or Sunday-Saturday? The rules say Monday-Saturday but yesterday (in the middle of the day) the weekly stats on freezingsaddles.org reset to 0.
What weekly stats are you talking about?
jrenautParticipantGood times.

I got dropped off FS. I went ahead and reauthorized Strava to read my data. But in am still not on the board. Any guidance?
Can you confirm you have joined the strava club for your team, and not any clubs for any other of this year’s teams?
