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

So the low pressure ones handle more than 4 bar. But barely!

I have been given a new macbook pro to try at work.

Compared to my clunky old laptop which runs windows 7, it's like going from a heavy steel frame to a CF wonderbike! So light and fast and quiet.

I've got good news for you, especially if you have stinky feet. Don't ask me why I know this.

Right, so going from a time tested classic to a piece of plastic crap. Excellent analogy. Does it have a spot to attach a Tiffany Lamp, or would you advice against it.

I can barely stomach the 550 gram Michelin Country Rocks.

I'll have to live with them 'til I feel rich enough for these, though:

You might enjoy the first 50 seconds of this cycling video. She wears gloves also.

ZIPP ties would be a pain in the ass. You wouldn't be able to trim them.
