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

We have them at WalMart for $5 including tax. If she'd use them, that would be a small price to pay to keep my sanity.

And no, I don't trust these people in the daytime, I'm sure not going to trust them at night.

And no, I don't career if they DO say one is easier to see at night, I do NOT need to ride so badly it can't wait till daylight.

I have been experimenting with Cubist sculpture lately...I call this piece, "Broken Caffeinated India Dream."

The colors represent the surrealism the living experience becomes with age, the angular nature of the broken coffee table frame implies the futile effort of imposing structure upon life, and the Bengal in repose is symbolic of the unanticipated chaos of it all....

@RollCNY could not include the word in the sentence because he does not know how to pronounce it. Criticism fail.

Plus Roll is specials needs as far as pronounciation goes. You shouldn't pick on him about it.

The context/placement would affect pronunciation.

He looks like he is up to something.
