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

Viagra or Levitra - the team would be too busy doing wheelies down the road.

I dunno, racers need lots of calories in small, light, tasty packages.

Add some peanut butter and it'll be like a cheaper Cliff bar. Except for all the cholesterol.

Isn't NAAFP the organization that Peter created in that episode of Family Guy about the guy who strangles fat people? That site is probably a joke.
