Today, Mike and I discuss the invasion of Minneapolis, the killing of fellow cyclist Alex Pretti by ICE, and how the cycling community united in solidarity worldwide. 

We also talk about some bike industry news, like Revel relocating, and more (literal) fires to put out for Rad Power Bikes. Downhill racing kicked off with Red Bull Hardline in Tasmania, so we put in our picks, plus Mike recaps the Cyclocross World Championships, and more.
