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

Maybe they are people you waved to during a flyby.

Sorry for the dip into P&R and I am sorry if I offended anyone.

A young earther is someone who believes literally the earth was created 6 to 10 thousand years ago as stated in the Bible.

I need a new alarm clock. The current one doesn't always turn off when I turn it off.

I don't have any experience with 6spd manual. Does it just continue the zig zag pattern, or do you have to depress the lever at some point? We're looking a Honda Fit automatic, for carrying bikes.

I tried to go into strava to adjust my settings, but I can't seem to do it without an actual computer. The phone can't do it.
