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

Now your bike, like your hot rod, can have a hot tranny.

Let's hope, if you reach that age, that people don't say that about you.

They (whoever they are) say that sex sells, but in this case, they'd have to pay me to buy those handlebars, and in this case even that would be questionable.
