Arkéa are no more. Expected, but nonetheless very sad for all of the riders and staff affected, and for what it means on a broader scale for cycling 😢

BREAKING: Marco Rubio's State Department announces publicly that it is exercising unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination in revoking people's visas based on comments about the killing of Charlie Kirk.
Department of State v @StateDept g.. The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans. The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk. Here are just a few examples of aliens who are no longer welcome in the U.S.: 5:55 PM • Oct 14, 2025 • 34.1K Views

Enjoyed the Ecusta Trail in Hendersonville - rode the 12 miles of trail (finished so far) and visited places and ate lunch downtown and we won shirts and stickers for checking in at stops along the trail 🚲
Trail and mountain and trees A giant metal chicken on a bicycle A bear statue with a pack on it that says “coffee” An actual honest to God bike lane!

This starts on Thursday! Any and all donations are helpful - donations mean the adaptive sports program can expand its offerings and hire more people and everyone gets to do the activity they love! 🚲

“13-year-old alien” 😡

Marisa Kabas @marisakabas.bsky.social · 1d
This is the response I received from ICE when I inquired about the 13-year-old they abducted from Everett, Mass. on Friday:
Good afternoon, Marisa. Please see the below from DHS on the 13-year-old alien. Please feel free to direct any questions to them. Respectfully, James Tricia McLaughlin @TriciaOhio • 6h S... Here are the facts: he posed a public safety threat with an extensive rap sheet including violent assault with a dangerous weapon, battery, breaking and entering, destruction of property. He was in possession of a firearm and 5-7 inch knife when arrested.
