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

Good Lord - looks like a concentration camp photo. It's sad how emaciated some of the pro riders are; this guys probably couldn't bench press a Q-tip.

Didn't say just roadies in the title, so posting these. This is when helmets make no sense. Not me, of course. Just some amazing images.

For some reason I'm thinking that was Alpe d'Huez, but I'm not sure.

There are a lot of cool pics in here - good thread idea Ryanf.

Edit: It was actually Luz-Ardiden.

I didn't know that Jan Ulrich used a single downtube shifter on the mountains too.


And here's me taking a good pull towards the beginning. Mixed group of Juniors and Cat V's...

Notice how in all the "cool" pics the rider isn't wearing a helmet?
