Binder: “Every time I get on the bike I feel better”
It’s been very hard. When I thought that I would only be missing training in December, we arrived at the end of January and I was told that I had to go under the knife again. Everything seemed fine, but in Argentina, the plate moved and I broke my arm again while I was riding, forcing me to go through a third operation. That last one was harder than the previous two, because I have had to do much more rehabilitation. Now I just need time in order to get strong again. Every time I get on the bike I feel better and more comfortable, so we are taking steps in the right direction. Source link

Clever Cavs Fans’ License Plate Roasts Warriors’ Blown NBA Finals Lead
Share this: A well-placed joke about the Golden State Warriors blowing a 3-1 lead in the 2016 NBA Finals seems to never get old, but one Cleveland Cavaliers fan made his version more subtle. Cleveland native Kory Siverd got a license plate commemorating the event after his beloved Cavs won their first NBA title, but you won’t find the phrase “3-1 lead” anywhere on it. Siverd’s vanity plate takes a second to register for those who aren’t automatically thinking about basketball, but once you get it, it’s pretty brilliant. Siverd told the Cleveland Plain Dealer he was surprised when he saw his license plate being shared on Reddit and Twitter, and although he wasn’t looking for any attention, he’s glad Cavs fans are
