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

I think I'm going to get my spare track bike powdercoated in gold chrome just to one-up you Gary. You'll see.


You'll all see...

I reeeaaallly like that gold color. Very cool. Fits black & red surprisingly well. I hope someone would find a picture of those golden campy wheels with the frame.

Notice the beer refrigerator in the pics above - in the LBS they have draft beer for customers (with no charge)!!

So the next time you're in Tel-Aviv...

Here are some more pictures.

For my opinion it also looks better in white/black/gold.

But anyway its beautiful in any color.

Thanks again Mark....I would love to hear more about the cycling scene in Tel Aviv some time. I never imagined the area would be much of a hotbed for riding but I guess I was wrong......
