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

Goodbye Bike Forums - from Justabikegirl

Didn't read all the fine print on e-Bay - or here either evidently. Have fun bike friends. See you on the road (Look for me on a my tribike - white Scott Contessa or my GOTTA KEEP IT CAUSE E-BAY SAID SO - 2008 or 2010 Trek 5.4 or 6.0 - depending on who you listen to - I'll be in white bike shoes, white Rudy Projects and a white Lazer helmet with a HUGE smile on my face. I'll blind you with all the white - outfit and teeth!)

Packed a lot into those 33 posts. I wonder if she is a Larry Bird fan. I guess we'll never know. It was fun while it lasted jbg.

So what do we need to do differently? Group hug? More HTFU? Shall I entertain the forum with details of the evening's ride? Or ask which bike to buy? Discuss which shoe is more aerodynamic? Tell you about the tires, tights, and jersey I just ordered? More "steel is real"? Actually talk about riding on the road?

You are going to leave a picture of that whiteness before you leave right?
