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

PC AD apparently doesn't tape his bars and uses Sora. I want no part of that.

PCAD, I want to spend more time on bike and less on BF. Really I do.

But I can do BF at work and can't ride at work (although I commute whenever I can).

PS I just noticed this is a parody thread. Nevermind. Then again PCAD is turning into a parody of himself...

This thread seems to be created under the impression that pcad would learn something. Therefore I think the professor is a fool.

This statement is meaningless. PCad has always been a parody of himself.
