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

I think everybody I see wears white these days. I see black too. I rarely see blue or yellow.

White. I've heard it's the coolest and safest. Plus it's what all the pros wear so it must make you faster?

So, I'm sitting here thinking, "man, I'd love to see a larger picture of that avatar"... Then I see you have a link in your signature to a larger picture of your avatar...

So, thinking it's my lucky day, I click and: FAIL. No photo of avatar.

Go Vols!
