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

Getting ready to pull the plugs on the lights here. Well over 100 tricksters, and likely 20 pounds of candy.

i think i have found the perfect outlet for my OCD. I am obsessed with shoe polishing. I started watching youtube vids about shoe care and now I have an old battered shoe that looks so shiny I can see my reflection.

I haven't worried about that shoe shine crap since I wore suits to work back in the early 90s.

i was debating whether it was worth resoling. it was in really bad shape. scuffs on the top and dried out.

i didn't worry either about the shine. i found these in back of closet and ocd took over.

....I can't believe you claim OCD, and do not have at least two bike specific polishes. It's embarrassing to those of us truly OCD.
