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

Twitter - like most of social media - is what you make of it. If you follow/friend people who show ****, then you get a **** show. If you only wish to see puppies and hot bikes, you can make that happen.

On shimano road cleats, the colored tips are a soft/plastic ,rubber like material to give you a bit of grip on the road. The plastic without it is very slippery.
You may be unfamiliar depending on what system you are running.

There are 10 kinds of people in the world - those who understand binary and those who don't.

Why is it that every time I come back and click “View first unread”, it takes me at least 2-3 pages back and I have to scroll all the way down again?
