Fear of a Woke Bike Mechanic

Nina’s social anxiety disorder impedes proper maintenance of her bicycles, while Corinna’s anti-social disorder compels him to empty an entire canister of dad jokes into the podcast. Are pronouns passé? What is the word for lonely bereaved former cat owners? How much can you round up pi? Plus Nina announces a significant lifestyle change, and shares intimate details about Judge TERF. Don’t forget to leave us a 5-star review unless one of us isn’t wearing a bra, and be sure to smash that “like” button!

Epilogue: the one non-woke bike shop in Nina’s town just got raided by federal agents for illegal firearms and explosives. I’m not kidding. Compelled pronouns or guns, those are your choices for bicycle repair in Champaign-Urbana.
