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

Interesting. Thx for posting that. I've got a 20 yo Trek myself, and get a little kick every time I get on it. It always seemed like an interesting company.

My condolences too. May he rest in peace. My first roadie was a Trek 1200 that I absolutely loved.

One of the most significant figures in the history of America's cycling industry. For all the grief Trek gets they are the biggest in the US and one of the most innovative bicycle companies on the planet, a real asset to cycling. Well done Rich. RIP.
