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

There's probably hardly any on this forum, but to the extent there are, they obviously don't like discussing cars and bike parts day after day.
Definitely too much bike talk on this forum.

Like fertilizer? Someone should invent a better use for it.

Perhaps if DougRNS posted more of his outlet mall shopping hauls we could attract female interest. Let's see some outfits!

I do have impeccable taste. The awesome Marigold jacket that I posted earlier should be enough fashion content for a while.

Slower is certainly better than nothing

Each tweet is carefully curated to match the interests of the community.

Such as . . . can you believe they did this? At least you can see the band, I think? Only on the west coast.
