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

Kudos on the kudos, did he think you should turn pro?

I don't Strava so I can't say for sure, I just like to ride my bikes.

I have enough of a pair to not let myself get bullied. I also have enough self-respect to not hang out here and endure this; I certainly wouldn't in person. You didn't grow up last time; I don't think you will now.
