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

GREAT looking bike. He's a real sports super-star that should be a role-model for more people.

Cant say enough good things about the guy. Nice to see the acrid personality of "some other" Trek guy, replaced with the kind of guy you would want your daughter to bring home.

Jen's Bike could be a meme...just a picture of him riding and comments about what his bike might think of him...something like, "Jens' Bike was looking forward to an easy day, but then Jens said, 'shut up bike, we're going in that break away'"

I've been following pro cycling for about 3 months now, he's my hero. The guy is a legend.

Brilliant!

I'm going to leave that open at work and click on it whenever I need some motivation.
