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

Good one!

This one's not quite as repetitive, but still a fun headline flub:

No. 11 Tech Tech baseball stuns No. 3 Texas on the road thanks to solid at-bats

Carlos Silva Jr.
Lubbock Avalanche-Journal
View CommentsThe Texas Tech bats were ready to compete with the high-velocity arms in the Texas rotation Friday afternoon.

I was surprised to learn that, during the recording of "Rumors", they all hated each other and were barely speaking.
