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

Could be but it's a common, merely aesthetic problem, never affects the meat.

Have I mentioned these pears are 100% organic, no pesticides or herbicides used ever.

It's hard to find a good pear. You might as well go with canned ones.
