Three Very Important Questions!

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

Three Very Important Questions!

1. If my bike breaks down, should I tie a white handkercheif to the handlebar?

2. If I run up on a hitchhiker, is it safe to give him a lift?

3. When I pass a car, should I blow my horn or flash my lights, to warn him?

Sorry. I think my brain overheated, on my ride today
