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

I posted these in another thread, but they're appropriate here too.

You don't need glasses. Seeing in bokeh is cool.

Hey, around here, that's the best choice...when you bring in people from all over the country and throw them all together on the road...oh boy.

Took that this morning, it's paved...it's a road...LOL

Fine, if MUP pictures are acceptable, then here's this shot of the local MUP (but really it's a cyclepath with a little bit of foot traffic).
