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

Little known fact - it's actually the vibrations from the imploding wheelsets that have been causing the micro-earthquakes - not the gas fracking that some have proposed. This has obviously been due to all of the horrible dishing.

I wonder if the implosion forces in the wheels counteract the explosion forces in carbon frames creating a stable structure. Could be why we're all still here.
