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

bike show

Ya,I was at the bike show today looking for a new bike.Seem lots of bikes of carbon fiber are made at the same factory in China,for some reason this bothers me,it's more a feeling than anything I can put my finger on.Also maybe I'm a luddite but these new shapes and all the blab blab that goes with them seems suspect to me?For ex. Kuota Kredo nice looking bike,good value but rear stays are different on each side,one is normal and one flat?suppose to give a better ride also different carbon is used on each tube,any feelings on this sort of thing?There are some real nice looking new bikes but is it all hype?
