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 had a Fiat wagon that someone gave me. It had a bad engine and I disassembled and repaired a VW engine in the back of it while it was parked in a field near an apartment where my girlfriend lived. I gave the Fiat to the old man who owned the field and ended up renting a house from him. That was 1974, I think.

I ordered an ec90 seat on ebay, its a s works power seat copy. $21.00 shipped. After I purchased it the recieve by dates changed. 4 days later the earliest possible date was dropped. Now 35 days after the purchase date.
I sent the seller a message asking "are you walking it here"? His response was not encouraging so I canceled that sale.Turns out it hadn't really shipped yet. I don't do moving carrots. I ordered a different one, saved $1.50 and had it in 5 days.

Is that the Costa Concordia? I was actually reading about the salvage recently when going down a Wikipedia rabbit hole.

Something else too 23° on zwift. 'Bout blew out my knees! Now, this was a meetup, which I might be done doing due to the...... uneveness?...... of the competition. But , I thought zwift was limited to 17°.. no? There were several sections that hit 23° it was stupid hard. Irl I wouldn't even have ridden it.
