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

I usually take an old whiskey bottle and hot-glue broken bike parts all over it. Nothing says love like home-made.

This. 4-sure. You know what keeps those type of people going late at night when they're organizing bib numbers, listening to droning phone calls from other club members, sitting through another city council meeting, etc? Liquor and an intense amount of self-hatred. ....or crack. There's always crack I guess.
