Addiction LXXX

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

Doesn't answer the question.

Generally, the only need I have for a knife is in the kitchen or opening a box.

I've opened more boxes with a key than any other tool.

Parents dropped this off today. I think the superteam wheels are still stuck in china, delivery date keeps getting pushed back. If I am lucky maybe I’ll have them by summer.

Well that is obvious because keys are for opening things.
I do the same.

And one around his neck, too. I wonder how many bandanas he had on him at that moment in time.

Wish I had known you were buying some. Princessbike123 has a warehouse here in the states.. My 50mm 's that I replaced the garbage wheels with were here in a week.
.
Edit: I retract that statement. I paid on the 8th of November, They were delivered on the 12th.

My bike multi-tool thing has a "knife."

Does that count as a weapon?

I have no problems with guns or knives. I just don't carry one because I don't need one. I'm universally loved!
