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

The upper part of the brake/STI shifter lever. The brake hood, which is shaped so that you can ride with your thumb and forefinger splitting it.

Sometimes referred to as a barrio- you'll know when you ride that sweet little bike of yours into the wrong one.
