Canada watches with some neighborly concern as we approach our elections....

Nope. If you would not mind keeping Bieber and CĂ©line Dion that would be great. But, you know if us taking them back would keep Donald out of office then I think we would do it for you.

This is really a kindly swipe at Trump and his 'make America great again' slogan. Canadians really hate the American right (okay except Alberta) and this is pure Canadian passive aggression combined with genuine appreciation. Honestly though things are really great in the US right now - unemployment as low as it's been since the 90s, crime at historic lows, incomes (finally) rising, several landmark progressive social policies have been enacted, etc.

I'm pretty sure we lost a bet with Canada, and we have to keep Bieber.

I fear it will not end any time soon. If Trump wins...:eek: I just can't even begin to think about it. If Clinton is the victor, and the makeup of Congress stays the same, we will have to endure years of special investigations of her. e-mail servers, classified mail, Benghazi panels galore (as if we have not had enough of them already). Plus, just as Obama's term showed us how much racism still pervades this country, get ready for the same thing with misogyny. Ugh, really want to get back to bike talk. Something calm, like carbon vs steel, clinchers vs tubies, Sagan vs "pick a name".

You're going to look awful funny with that orange contrail of cheeto dust while riding. Basically, you'll be an odd looking comet:) On the plus side, you'll be noticed on the road, good for safety

That orange stuff trump uses probably dissolves carbon fiber, not good for a cyclist!
