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

Unless you have the same Stryper poster hanging on your wall right now ....

Maybe a transcendental figure like Mr. Armstrong would be interested in what BF people have to say about his bike

(Has anyone broken it to Lance yet that he's not really supposed to wear the yellow jersey until after he has earned it on the bike? Or . . . did he buy the color yellow?)

Does anyone know what Lance has against compact geometry? I've heard he hates it, and this picture seems to support that, but I've never heard an explanation why. Just curious.

I saw Stryper when they opened for Slayer's Heaven and Hell tour. Very confusing time in my life.

Actually, it's just a bike. Doesn't bother me one way or another.

(The Stryper drum kits are perpetually on ebay. If there's not one on now, just wait. A week or so should be sufficient.)
