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 am ashamed to be living on the same planet as someone who is so ignorant to the rules of posting pictures.

I have shamed my entire family, and now will be lashed 5000 times with a featherless chicken. Then I will be tied to a pole and displayed in the yard for the neighbors to taunt me and throw rotten fruits and vegetables.

Please, for the sake of all children, close all of these dumb "show me your bike" threads. They only lead to bad things happening to good people. God forgive me.

I will be very upset if you close the "Show me your bike near corn" thread. I will probably leave BF for good.

(There, that ought to put an end to it.)

There are two.. both the 'nice' and 'mean' hot-or-not threads are pretty much, "Show me your money pit and I'll be (nice/mean) to you about it"
