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

Fine. I can't overlook the apostrophe abuse, though.

I remember this time when Johan corrected Lance's grammar after a night of drinking. Boy was that funny. I wrote a book on my experience in France and you would enjoy it!
