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

They do quite a bit more than that, and I don't pay anywhere near that for Oakley products.these cost me less than a pair of Jawbreakers at MSRP.

WTH? I literally have tears in my eyes. I am envisioning is the voice of the drill Sgt. from "Full Metal Jacket" yelling "What's you major malfunction, numbnuts?!?!" when someone stops. Or the voice of some nagging wife yelling at her husband to keep moving his fat ass or he'll have to clean the garage.


Some things just shouldn't be invented.

Maybe they will start offering a service where a real live person tracks your progress and calls and yells at you if you slow down.

I guess you have to agree with the statement @ 1:55 to want to buy them.

My wife does that to me sometimes, since she can track me on my rides. If I turn back home into a headwind and I've promised I'll be home at a certain time, she's called and asked me why I'm going so damn slow.

That makes me drope the hamer every time.
