I ghostrode my most recent DIY bike project home.
She’s a 1976 Schwinn Traveler III road bike that I’m converting to a single-speed/fixie.

“This video captures glimpses of something human, we get a peek inside something real between people - could be loss, longing and love. A lot of things which is about being a human being.. It is told in a way where it opens up more aspects than it concludes. Maybe something we can’t…

bikeladiesunite:

Re: Queer Activism on NU’s campus
I’m ready to kick up an advocacy storm. It’s about time that we see a few more queer inclusive policies pushed onto the administration’s agenda.

The decision is the largest environmental award ever handed down and the result of an 18-year legal battle brought by some 30,000 indigenous peoples and farmers seeking a clean up of contaminated sites,...
