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

It's okay for him though, I think he's a french.





Try reading his post with a french accent, it makes it much more entertaining.

Do they teach you not put a [space] or [double space] after you use a period to finish the sentence in Quebec or what?

They're Quebeqois, not French, not much Canadian and they sure as heck don't have a French accent. But don't worry, only people in Canada and France know about the Quebec accent.

Apparently Zin is still upset about the group ride he went on where the guys with the CF and Aluminum road bikes made him feel unwelcome because he rode his fendered steel touring bike.
