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

from Velominati : The Rules

Rule #24// Speeds and distances shall be referred to and measured in kilometers.


This includes while discussing cycling in the workplace with your non-cycling coworkers, serving to further mystify our sport in the web of their Neanderthalic cognitive capabilities. As the confused expression spreads across their unibrowed faces, casually mention your shaved legs. All of cycling’s monuments are measured in the metric system and as such the English system is forbidden.

just sayin'

I did this route Taft-Elkton-Coldwater at Bikely.com# 66km with 997m of climbing at an average speed of 25km/hr.


I did stop a couple of times to move turtles off the road and also once to photograph a snake.

But I was by myself and there weren't even other cyclists up ahead for me to track down and drop.

There probably were a few, but you weren't fast enough to realize they were there.......
