Our only regret about these Never Second bars is that we didn’t shoot a photo of Bill Armstrong when we met him at Sea Otter Classic last weekend. SOC is a 4-day Celebration of Cycling, and in the mass of SOC Expo vendors—often understandably weary on the final day—Bill immediately stood out for his uplifting, positive energy and genuineness.

Thank you to Bill of #NeverSecond for thoughtfully contributing three boxes of Never Second C30 Fuel Bars to Bicycling Monterey, so we have fuel "at the ready” for youth needing a boost on our next rides. never2.com/products/c30-fuel-b

I've finally seen John Oliver's debunking of the trans athlete stances adopted by the likes of transphobic asshats and scumbag turncoats like Gavin Newsom. And I have to say that this is one of the best segments he's ever done. It's a BRILLIANT argument well worth your 42 minutes. It sifts through the claims and systematically debunks them with wit and smarts. We're deeply lucky to have this guy (and his staff).
