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

...this guy is headed for grief. Singapore is where they execute people for relatively minor drug offenses.

...worked for Dennis Rodman. Get pics with Kim if you can, I don't see how you could go wrong there.

I wonder if he's arrogant enough that you could get him to go for a ride with you ? #too_cool

Next time some knuckle dragger car driver cuts me off, instead of getting mad, I'll try to catch them at the next stoplight and offer them a new pair of the anti-knuckle drag gloves.

Any links as to where to buy the anti-knuckle dragger gloves??!!

I like the name too. The question mark should be changed to a period or exclamation point, however. It makes absolutely no sense as a question.
