I've too have noticed a lot of cyclists seem to spend a lot of time reading...ON THE INTERNET


Step away from the computer and get on your bike.

I've never seen anyone reading and riding, though I have seen someone trying to get in their power walk and a book. Pretty futile, really.

Actually, you *can* ride and read, thanks to audible.com.

I can't read Avid.... English and Spanish yes plus a little German, but not Avid.

I never read when I'm riding, especially Avid... only traffic signs.

Avid was before Ovid; hence, the inherent difficulty.

I finished 4 motorcycle related books in 4 days. Gotta love hospital waiting room.

I haven't either, which of course, is not what the OP was after. I do read while I walk though.
