Addiction 2023.2

Notices
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

That's really something unusual. A DH frame with a high-pivot driven by a jackshaft? A DW-Link suspension and crabon/aluminum tubes. I'd like to see it all built up, maybe ride it down a hill.
I only knew one guy who raced DH. He said amateur racers only got one or two runs and couldn't pre-run the course. He was a very good road rider.

I had thought this obvious, but apparently they don't have dictionaries in some parts of the world.

DougRNS feel free to break out the highlighter on the key word of the first definition.

It is pretty sad that you have more cycling miles this week than I do.

Japanese automaker Honda Motor Co is recalling an estimated 2.1 million Accord models worldwide because of defects in the vehicle’s battery system that cause engines to light on fire. The recall affects 1.15 million cars in the U.S. The issue lies in the 12-volt battery sensors — which notify drivers of battery problems — in model years 2013-2016
