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

Hey Beachbum! Don't pay attention to that guy. He simply hates on everyone.

That is a sweet looking ride! I wonder if it rides as nice as it look. (and it looks fast).

I went to the LBS to buy either a Giant OCR 1 or TCR 1. The LBS did not have a TCR in my size. So, after a trip across town to a store with the TCR in my size, I purchased one of these with speedplay pedals:



I am in love with this bike.

thanks, i did get a little too jumpy. i'm sure he was just busting my balls for a laugh.

pic one is my bike ready to ride. and if ewitz thinks that a bike shop would grease up durace pedals for a photo, you're crazy.

pic two, my shoes. certainly a litte more worn than the new ones laying around. shimano pro road.

pic three, a hot newslady that interviewed me today in my shop about the livestrong wristbands. she was so cute and a cute little body on her.

Is that pic of the news lady taken in a bike shop called TONYS BICYCLES or something like that?

Just got a new bike today. Went for a ride... flat tyre. I guess that's the life of a roadie. I don't have a pic yet, but will soon.

tourdecomp... i use my free olympus D-360L 1.3MP camera. it was the first digi-cam that i got free when it first came out. i think the pics i have is pretty good even for a 1.3MP

it's all good, webcam does take some nice shots too.. just make sure there is plenty of light in the background. or point ur lamps toward the wall and let it bounce off the wall, so the pic will come out nicer too.
