True, dat, but it's my old home town paper so... (Although truth be told I prefer the WaPo now, and have done for years.)

Because he's a Democrat, and Democrats aren't allowed to have nice things. Ask any Republican, or the NYT. The NYT probably learned all about that on one of their Cletus Safaris.

And what do we know about this "dog" they supposedly "rescued"?

"He would advise Mr. Biden to pick a nondescript user name and change it every month, and keep the bike far from any place where there might be sensitive conversations."

Or, you know, turn it off when he's not using it?

snif...my daily commuter bike's rear derailleur decided to noisily and spectacularly fling pieces of itself all over the road, and I decided that for once I was going to treat myself and have my local bike shop mechanic wrench on it to get all bright and shiny and fixed....

...he's had to close his shop to be quarantined for two weeks ... starting yesterday

Jeeeeezuuzzzz fucking CRYYYYYYYST. That last guy spent 25 hours a day on an open cell phone sending messages on Twitter. Can we get off the fucking nonsense about a Peleton.

Sadly, this is what it looks like. Instead of normalizing the daily tragicomedy that was Trump’s single term, the media must scandalize ANY dumb thing they can find. “Joe Biden allegedly uses 19th century curly mustache wax on his pubes, which seems pretty elite and not consistent with his ‘regular Joe’ image. Is he really one of us?”

Trump and his family used personal accounts daily and Trump telegraphed his every impulse and location via Twitter 40 times a day. His bike won’t leak state secrets like Trump did. Or maybe it’s just too fancy? Joe Biden has been a Senator for like 40 years and VP to a normal administration for 8 years, now President. He probably makes bank for speeches and personal appearances prior to his run for President. He can afford a nice bike. Move along NY Times. Eye roll.

Well if Biden had a letter from his doctor declaring him the healthiest person to ever take office he wouldn't even need an exercise bike.

The Chinese dominate international table tennis, the largest participant sport in the world. I have two good table tennis tables and play whenever I can. Obviously I am a ChiComParty dupe. OTOH one of my tables was assembled in Mexico under Swedish license and the other one was made in Germany..

Trump's thinking of starting his own political party. Which is probably a good thing since it's the only party he'll ever be invited to.

"Bicycle Race" is "objectively terrible"? Am I reading that right? Because if so...that's just objectively incorrect on every level.
