I know this will shock everyone here: they ride bicycles in Iowa.
Why would Iowans be so worried about the ballroom too?
LOL at these prices they’re really owning the libs in their gas guzzlers
So, you're saying you don't want those RAGBRAI dollars. Welp, we're more than happy to stop spending that money all the way across your state.
Honestly we probably don't reserve it. I love RAGBRAI (I bike from home to the start every year) and love that we have it, but as the state continues to get redder, dumber, and more hostile to cyclists in general, I'd love to see it move to, say, Minnesota.
It can't do that; then it would be RAGBRAM instead. It could move to Illinois, though.
Also, as a Georgian I feel like I should mention that BRAG exists.
They are afraid to ride bikes because they'll quickly be run over or have heart attacks from using their bodies for something besides using their bodies to trample freedom & independence.
God is love and not involved with any of this.
