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

"wut?", no show me your green bike(s) thread

I have 3 green bikes, all in various build/edit states, but I'm not seeing any "show me your green bike(s) thread(s)". Don't care if this one isn't built yet, we need some green:

I was testing different colours in PP to see what one of my bikes looked like, green was one of them. Does that count?
