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

Probably not stolen. Just a scam.

Do you realize, thompsonpost that you spelled your name wrong?

If it were intended to be a reference to a bicycle component, it would be misspelled, but it is not a reference to a bicycle component. It is a reference to a forum post.

Just something I thought of as a name. The seat post on my Ellsworth is made by Thomson.

Thank you.

Do you realize, Mobilegroomer, that you omitted a comma after "thompsonpost"? I love this game.

I was on my Blackberry and the keyboard is way tiny. I saw it after I hit 'Submit' but didn't care.

I've been going to Anal Bikers Anonymous, and it's helping.

Do you realize, Schiek, that the punctuation immediately following a quotation belongs inside said quotation?

This is true for everything but question marks. In his statement the quoted part is not a question so it goes outside.

Do you realise, darksiderising, that that is an American convention of punctuation?

I disagree, but each to their own. I am a fool to enter the online style and usage battles.
