Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

not really.
when i change a tire, i lean it up against something. so only the front tire, and maybe a pedal is on the ground, or hte chain.

if you turn it up side down...my 200.00 handlebars, and 140.00 seat would be hte points of impact....
and i dont have gears, if you had brifters thats another few hundred bucks you could break.

its all relative. when you have a nice bike you want to keep it nice
