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

I thought that they would start the conversation in Italian because of the sticker on the bike says some high-end Italian word for bicycle, then end up swearing at you in every language possible for the con job.
