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

We're going to yell at you.

Tell her I said she HAS TO read it ... or I'll yell at her, too.

Stick a floor length mirror in front of you, then you can do both at the same time!

Does not sound at all like the bunch I rode/raced with from Rochester back in the 70s from Neil King's Bike Shop around Stoney Creek . . .

You're trying to get me to believe that Neil King never yelled at a rider for riding like a... in Neil's own words... "giboffo"?

Right, 'cuz that really narrows it down...



btw, my jazz quartet recorded an improvisation that will appear on our forthcoming CD entitled "We're Going To Yell At You". Just seemed too apropos.

Zona, if your comment was addressed at the OP, pick up a copy of Roadie, and you'll see he's not a jerk, and also relaize there is a ton of satire in this thread.
