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

February can be a dangerous month. Fortunately no snow in the forecast for this sector of I-40. #MOTD

what is it about the geometry or frame design of this bike which makes it collect so much more dirt and muck? i swear riding my aethos in the same weather/conditions resulted in just a bit of grime on the chainstays and drivetrain.

I wish I had such powers. Eternal late spring -- or early fall -- it would be.

Hope is the enemy. Someone with hope will hold back. Someone with no hope will committ entirely.

I follow a couple because they post interesting repairs, and unique diagnosis. I also like GASOLINE powered automobiles. Shocking I know.

The day the music died. Early in the vid, at the shot of the three records, the plant blooming on the far left of the screen is marijuana. Male. Thus you might not recognize it.
