Thanks for the responses, I enjoyed the classic, laughed thru the Monty Python's, and the Lake Pepin tour is what got me thinking... I seem to live in the land of Spandex, Lycra, carbon fiber, cyclo computer, and "how fast, how far, how many calories...." I own/ride 2 bikes, '74 Schwinn Speedster and a 50's Phillips ( with proper 28x1 1/2 tires and rod brakes ) I was out riding my Phillips yesterday, enjoying the scenery, got home and realized I was gone for 2 hours.
