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

Yeah, but it takes a neon green headband to really pull the look together.

And I don't call it a haircut. Haircuts are for women.

My hair was down past my shoulders. Then I reevaluated the situation. Now it's short.
