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

The one that was $30. The elite? I didn't do the interactive one though.

Yes...I ordered mine in medium actually. Search "Giro Ionos black/red" in google and/or ebay. You can't miss it.

My latest purchase was a cheap frame pannier bag off of eBay. A buddy of mine sent me the link. It seemed kind of cool and was only about $6 after Bing Cashback and eBay Bucks. It seems like a decent bag to have for carrying my wallet, phone, and other small things. I'm hoping that it will stay in place. Even if it doesn't, it was cheap enough that it doesn't make a big difference. I'm going to buy a rear rack and trunk bag eventually, anyway.



I apologize if the picture is inappropriate (because of the store's name). I just re-hosted the picture from the listing. I am not affiliated with the seller; I just bought the bag from them. If it is a problem, I will gladly remove the picture or crop out the store name.

Tomorrow I am going to take a trip to the bike shop and pick up a new helmet.

The two-sided entry helps a lot for the commute, now I've gotta get my hands on some shoe goo - these cleats are slick on hard surfaces.
