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 get this sinking feeling I inadvertently sold my old Frog pedals with the Fly Ti. I'll have to dig around the garage. I hope they are hanging on the wall.
