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 can tell you when I was a ute they were not talking like that on the radio. Starland Vocal Band "Afternoon Delight" was about as risque as it got. Times have changed.

I do not think she sufficiently appreciates the magnitude of the problem. So it goes.

Put on some olde painting jeans I haven't worn in a couple years and there was a QR spring in the pocket.

Not as nice as a $20 bill.

You certainly want to ride without tape, to see if the levers are positioned correctly.

Eh, easier to moderate myself than to be put on a short leash involuntarily.

Plus, I don't like it when people post risqué pictures or videos on public forums in general, so even though it wasn't a TOS violation I'd be going against a personal guideline that I wish others would follow.

ouch. and that is why you are so much faster than me. you are prepared to repeatedly suffer.

Not normal. Some chain breakers have replaceable pins.
