Possibly the dumbest thing I've ever read

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 is ridiculous!!! And a judge agreed with their arguement. No wonder it's a joke that Bin Laden has offered to surrender on the condition that he's tried in a California court. I thought that San Fran was a hip and progressive city???

Dude doesn't have a car or a bike and he lives with his mother? Maybe he's just bitter and angry when he sees the smiling cyclists fly by on their two wheeled machines.

You need to look at the topics on this forum before posting this. You're several hours, nearly a day, late.
