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

Ooops. Did you think that guy's shirt didn't fit that well?

Sorry for the homophone mixup.

The bad part about riding a tandem is the person you'd make the Call of Shame to is on the bike with you.

On the other hand, does it count it you get them to make the call?

I actually bought two sandwiches. The one described above and a Cuban with habañeros on it.

I did think of suggesting we bring a pump but it seemed silly when we were just going to be.80 miles away at Starbucks. Oh, well. If we were gonna have a flat, we picked a nice day and location for it.
