How to be a road bike *video*

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

A biker is a fat guy on a Harley, not a fat guy in a green jersey on a bicycle.

That was their one oversight. Then you'd have fat old guys like me going through Hell and high water to get their FTP from 150 to 165 *sigh*

All in good fun.
