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

So, in addition to shaving ones legs, a serious cyclist much also be castrated. Glad I'm an amateur.

My wife apparently does not think my bike ornament is Christmasy enough. She is claiming it is because it is larger then the rest of the the things on our "tree" which is a wreath. It is a nice metal outline of a bike.

I tried hanging an old pair of wheels on the tree but it was a no go after the tree tipped over.

Even if you wanted to properly trim your tree I bet you don't have the balls to do it.
