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

Frankly, I thought the puppy thing was baffling too. What's with these people?

...this actually turned out to be a swell yellow bike. I'm embarrassed it took me two years to get around to overhauling it.

As Obi-Wan Kenobi said, "Remember, the Force will be with you. Always." Never knew he was a sram fan.

That is the opposite of a "grip". That is a very loose hold on reality.

I have a brand new set of Blizzaks on the van, so grip won't be a problem.

I'll have none of that! Best we get here is "grapple' and the news just shoves it down your throat. "It's NOT show! It's Grapple! Tell your friends it's not snow when they say it's snowing!" - popular media outlet in Phoenix.
