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

Yes, it's measurable.

Is that a Fred-oh-meter, or a Fred-ah'meter?

That, without a doubt, is one of the worst displays of photoshop skills. Must be a slow day at work.

Seems kind of useless to put one on Pcad's bike since he pretty much pegs the Fredometer everytime he rolls down the driveway.

I think you are the one who needs a little entertainment. Ask Mrs Pcad for some help and then you won't be so bored and feel the need to fill this forum with useless sh**.

The photo, with the meter pegged out at better than 100, was taken in pcad's presence.
