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

Let's see, it was uploaded to you tube in Dec 2006 and viewed 217,000 times. I'm sure nobody thought to post it here. ;-)

The tighter turns and those long skinny islands make the streets in London look more dangerous to ride on than in NYC.

"You're gonna have a good race today, dude! Yeah, man.."

"Definitely, I'm behind Lucas Brunelle"

"That's right, chomp it up... gonna do some rad s* now"

"Ain't no Pete, ain't no Adam"

*laughs* "That's right, ain't no Pete or Adam today"

"I'm takin' your cheese, man, I'm takin' your cheese!"

(actually, I wonder if it has anything to do with the book - https://www.whomovedmycheese.com/ )
