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

Reminds me when I bought my first nice road bike and my wife was like "$4000 and it doesn't even come with a kickstand…"

Dude has all the bases covered.

A little green krylon and I bet he could match the hoods up with the rest of the steed. Maybe even touch up the saddle. All that effort and only one gold QR come on man! its all about how you look, its the small things.

I put 50km on it today in the time I had. I was hard not to crack that throttle as I know I need at least 500k to break the engine in. Mine is a really nice dark blue that lights up at night. Now I need to put some nice rims on it...

But nothing tops my lime green jiant...

Bob - I know it's not yours but that bike is terrifying and hilarious at the same time.
