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

You crash. Hard. Wear a full face in case.

True Story:
When my niece was 4 years old I taught her that whenever her mother (my sister) told her to do something she should put her hands on her hips and say "I think not!"

Lots of LOLs.

I keep rock salt, needles, sewing thread, candles and a lighter/matches handy for threads like these. You do what you can to survive.

How can you be two places at once when you’re not anywhere at all?

Because if you’re not in one you can be in the other, both at the same time.

You have to invite them in. They can't open by themselves.
