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

Explored his website a bit. That's 10 minutes I'll never get back.

Careful with your comments, posers! The dude is former elite Italian AND American Special Forces! Yowsa!

So........ help a poser out here..... why is it "easy" and "cheating" to stand on the pedals?!

Probably close to the truth on this one. Although I was laughing pretty hard watching the youtube videos with the epic music and epic cockpit.
