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

remember the good old days when a rumour sweeps through school that there was going to be a fight after school and a crowd gathers at the venue?

before the internet i thought those halcyon days were long gone.

It seems every time I see your name here it is bragging about some sort of collection you have. I think we all get it, you can stop now.

No,
The watch analogy is relevant to that of the bike industry. I ride my bikes and collect watches. I don't collect much else.

We have to ride together Lazy. Hell, I was in Haworth this AM on the Tour de Fred (Park Ridge Ride). Once again, it wasn't all that Fredly for the last 15 miles or so. Hell, I don't think there were even 15 guys left at the end.

Ouch.

No,
There are very distinct parallels in both industries. Different companies like Tag Heuer make stainless steel watches with relatively cheap Swiss Eta quartz movements and sell them for a lot more than similar lesser known brands. For this reason, I don't buy quartz watches that often because they are not good values in most of the higher end brands.

As long as you can comb it forward... sure whatever. But that is what a woman notices from those brag pictures of yours.
