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

Now I know who to blame.
Whoa! I didn’t know you toured.

y'all seen the new Jeeps? Nothing sadder than unused disc break mounts.

Well, except maybe Schraeder valve stems that are too short for your deep dish rims

Whose side are you on?

I like the two-color bar tape. I have black/white on my Roubaix, possibly inspired by the classic Star Trek episode "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield."

Pathetic that a 65 year-old never-was is getting obsessed about this stuff, but I am and I guess it's no sillier than geeking out over gear. Might ask for a trip to a local lab for my birthday.
