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

Fixted. Shysters are in the legal profession.

My brother-in-law, who's a personal injury lawyer, used to have a coffee mug, with a rat carrying a briefcase, labeled 'Shyster'.

Out of business. Cool guy too, we used to talk sports all the time, whereas I always found it rare to find a sports-minded medical professional.

When I moved my office from the big city to the burbs a while back, I bought the office building that I'm currently in.

I had business cards printed for banker that financed the building that had my name followed by "Shyster and Slum Lord."

First ride in the 80s today with gusts to 29 mph. I followed the Assassin as much as I could.

(Because I had to. Wouldn’t wait for me)

Yes, but the loop is only about 1/10 of a mile. Includes a small hill though. Quite the challenge.
