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

Like we're going to discourage bike and bike-related purchases.

Buy it.

If you want a budget wheel on Smart Trainer for Zwift etc., it’s a good choice.

I need roughly 50 to hit 5000 also. I torrent your position.
Edit: wow is my spell check bad. How do you get the word "torrent" , from the word "reject"?

We're talking tubular tires. Thanks for the tip nonetheless.

That was my theme song as a yute. My parents bought me an album with that as the title and of course that song was on it.

My FB/IG "story" skills are kind of lacking.

P.S.Not sure why image was expanded to such a large size. Usually pictures get shrinked, if anything.
