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

Nap activity completed now it's time for haircut and weight lifting activity. Such an interesting life.

What wheels and tires are those, I'm thinking of updating the look of my RB-1.

I love CF bars, although I do have one bike with steel bars that are really nice.

These two are absolutely tearing it up in the mall!

My lightest crabon bars are some olde Eastons. But no flat tops and not even cable grooves!!! Pretty barbaric but so light
