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 stem/bar on my new Foil is fugly or super cool, it gets mixed reviews. I'll like it just fine if they can get it to fit me, I think it will work.
