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

It is good for a person to own something that they think rules.

Yup. It's Wednesday, so I'll be heading to the bike shop for the weekly hour of fail after the sun goes down.
