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

this one has to be one of my favorites.



cant find a photo of them, but the de rosa Merak's that the vini caldirola team rode around 1999-2000 were pretty good too. There are so many others I can think off, but can't find photo's to post
