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 are two trees in my orchard. Only one is productive, but it's really productive.

Is train snorter really a super moderator, or is that some sort of self applied label?

I only have 4 rides on them. They ride firmer for the same airpressure. tpu felt about the same at 110 psi to me as butyl at 120.

Do you run over saplings with your mower?

He seems pretty nice, but "super" may be a little over the top.

It’s a generic title applied by the system. I’m just a lowly, first level mod. Gnome and LAJ must have changed theirs at some point. I assume they had the same label at one point.
