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 used them for years but the recent ones seem to be plagued by dry-rot. Or maybe it's because the garage is too hot. I kept my bikes in the house until 2016.

I'm putting off taking the rental to the airport and a Lyft back.

Why not use one of these?

One of the ebike brands we carry has an air tag in it. And an app.

After skipping breakfast this morning and riding 7 miles of The Gnar, I'm of the opinion that this is the best thing ever.

The Boy and The Heron was very good. It was reminiscent of “Spirited Away” in some ways but even more dreamlike in some ways especially with the flow of events and the timeline. The animation is beautiful. Would give it 4.5 stars out of 5.
