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

there’s a reason why we don’t utilize the delta wing in fighters. They lose too much energy in a turn.

I don't think that was really a concern for her, was it?

If you had one you were never going to get too. Wouldn’t mind building a single speed.

Never used in anger, but the design purpose was supersonic delivery of nuclear weapons. Main configuration included a centerline pod that contained the bomb and extra fuel. Can think of her as the forerunner to the B-1.

3R Endurance Ride, first hour or so. Nice to ride with a social group and chat instead of watching youtube. It was all fun and games until someone made a horrible disparaging comment (see below).

Funny, at one point I twisted right to grab something on the counter top, and felt a little twinge or soreness in my groin. Funny how I can hammer for moments with no pain when my body is straight n narrow, but I still need to be careful with everyday movements. Certainly better than the other way around

Really? Interesting. Any study links you can provide?

All sizes of butts have their virtues, IMO.

Unsurprisingly, you don't get it. He visit stadiums and walks around seeing what areas he can get access to without people noticing.

...this frame is too good for a single speed. I know that reflects a certain prejudice on my part. Just find some cheapo used track frame, of dubious Asian origin, and you'll be good.
