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

On group rides...

Do you know if there's a heavier version of this I can buy anywhere?

No thanks for the Heed electrolyte solution and the Clif shot bloks. I brought a PB&J sammich, so I'll be fine.

hot!

Removing the shift cables saves weight!

Cheating only sucks when you lose.

I live in Florida, why do they sell compact gearing here?

You know, every cyclist can be an advocate. Maybe we should respect traffic laws and work to change those that don't help us.

We could encourage others to assert the inherent rights to the roads that cyclists enjoy.

And when we're not having fun on extended road rides, we could use our bikes to get to work or run errands.

"Yes Honey! I'd love to follow you around the neighborhood at a negligible pace on my road bike while you look for potholes and broken glass to run over with your mountain bike, I love you"

OR

"I know it looks new but it's really not... well, I mean... it's not a "current" "new" bike... erm"
