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

They're real purrty and all but isn't that a tad bit much for a beach cruiser? It must be the magical Zertz!

Really, I like the last one. Of course that may be because its the same colors as my current ride. I'd never pay $8500 for a two wheeler unless it came with an engine other than me.

Yea, and Specialaized ditched the Campy Record on the top of the line Tarmac as well. You'd think for $8500 they could have splurged a little ;-)
