My French mistress

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

My French mistress

I am in love.

And with my wife’s blessing, I have begun an affair with a mistress called Lapierre.

We consummated our relationship on Monday, a languid union along the river on a cool, breezy evening.



But our flirtations began many months ago, when I first spied her in photographs online from the Eurobike trade show. The subtle arc of her top tube and curved arch of the rear brake bridge enticed me. The twist of her chain stays and swooping line of her front fork stirred me.

You can read the rest, and see more photos, here

How indiscreet of you to flaunt your mistress here. Shocking.


Nice bike.

It's sexy now, but add white cages and saddle, and then it will be worth leaving your wife for.

The writeup in your blog was well worth reading. Well done and nice bike. I do demand bigger, higher res pics, though.
