I’m doing a blend of Kona from a local store and whole food Kenya. It’s a 70/30 of Kenya to Kona and taste great. The Kona alone I got taste and looks like really dark soil after a brew, so I picked a lite roast to see how it would go and I’m happy....
I got it from the store today because I was feeling lazy/on vacation, but I grind it myself fairly regularly too and I’d say it’s a reliably OK cup of coffee. Not terrible, not great.

PSA: If you rent a bike or scooter, don’t put it in the bike rack. The rack is for people who need to lock their bike up.

Never driven a Prius, but I have driven a couple Fits before and while they’re not super fast, they’re surprisingly fun to drive on twisty roads. Not as fun as my manual Subie, but nobody’s perfect.
Now that summer is almost here, I’m looking for better ways to protect myself from the sun. I generally dislike sunscreen, but I do wear it while riding....
I like my ebike, but I like my bicycle even more. I can’t quite place my finger on why, but it’s probably because my bicycle is a pretty decent hardtail and my ebike is a cheap drop-shipped folding fatbike that I use more for heavier hauls or recovery days. I’d probably change my opinion if I had something like a Specialized Turbo lol.
