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'm like that around computers

I took the fast lane, going 5 mph over the speed limit.

There's a variety of dollar stores there. I can see why you are so fond of it.

I put "ovalized" in quotes because the tubing isn't exactly round, you can kind of see it in this picture:
