OK, fess up....which 41 hack is this?

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 know I looked goofy, but I had to pee really bad, and someone was in there.

I do something similar as well at red lights except I throw my helmet on the ground. The loose change I get pays for tires.

flatlanding is nothing new in the world of BMX....it used to be an event in the X-Games even, broadcast nationally.

He just chose to do it on a big ol' honkin' bike.
