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

Only the mods can delete a whole thread. Apparently he never existed. It was all a dream.

Wow. Getting banned is one thing, but getting completely wiped out of existence is another level entirely. Looks like someone rubbed the wrong person the wrong way for the last time.
