The University of Texas System’s Board of Regents unanimously approved a rule requiring its universities to ensure students can graduate without studying “unnecessary controversial subjects,” despite warnings it could leave them less prepared for the real world.
Do I have any followers with a story about how an electric bike changed their life for the better? I'm looking for strong examples of how an e-bike made something previously unattainable, or hard, a possibility.
For a print magazine, so come prepared with your best head/bike shot!

Flyer: Support Families at a South Minneapolis Public School We are a Title 1 neighborhood community school in South Minneapolis that is fundraising to provide financial support to our vulnerable families during the unprecedented federal occupation of our city. Funds will be disbursed to families requesting help with rent, bills, food, transportation, and other necessities. Donate: gofund.me/9d2c453cf
My neighborhood school collectively fundraised over $100,000 to support our neighbors with rent and bills this last month.
Now we need to do it all over again for March.
PLEASE HELP!
Every family we're working to keep housed & fed has elementary aged children.
