I wonder if any of the mods can change the Is in the title of the thread to Are.

It's driving me nuts!

It's almost time for Paris-Roubaix now, so I'll have to mention "A Sunday in Hell."

I watched "The Bicycle Thief" about two weeks ago . Definitely worth watching. I found the DVD at the local Library!

Also, I think there's a movie called "QuickSilver", that is about urban cycling.

The wife picked up a copy of American Flyers at Big Lots for $3. Better than renting it!...Cople years ago she found Lances Big 6, highligths form his 6 wins. Only paid $2 at Big Lots. But she has the patience to look through big boxes of carp!

QuickSilver in Two Minutes


When you have nothing left all you really need is the courage to get it back



Let's go !! American Flyer !!

An errant piece of flak tore a hole in a wing tank and, like a wounded bird, this is where she landed, not to return on this day, or any other day.
