Best glasses and helmet...

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

If you have a trainer that necessitates their use, then I'd sure like to see it!

P.S. - Where can I buy one?

My trainer has built-in "magic fingers", but it is a real pain when I have to add quarters in the middle of an interval.

Magic fingers that are a pain?

There's room for four cans if you add front/back mounts!

EDIT: I suppose aerodynamics/weight would s*ck, though.
