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

I was going to change my user name to reflect that I'm not riding, but apparently the name @BillyD is already taken.

Poor Roll, he does not roll these days.

Me neither. Instead, I float.

Yes, I'm playing the melody on the trumpet, accompanied by a stationary organ. I do not know which stops will be used.

Speaking of clowns, I've been meaning to tell you: I'm considering sponsoring a contest to change your avatar, because I find the demonic clown a little too scary. I can't do it right now, my Internet is too spotty.
