My immigrant handlebars (Modolo Yuma etc…)ย are winging their way to the UK as I type! She was a bigot in my opinion (the kind of person who starts sentences with “I’m not a racist but….”). My handlebars are just as welcome as all the other hard-workingย residentsย of our country […]

It is, for example, depressingly fascinating (but very predictable)ย that the USA dominates the list of theย 100 most-visited sitesย and that Google tops that list.
