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

But I'm too lazy to find a pic to post. Somebody's gotta have some ambition this morning.

I read on the 41 that smaller wheels have lower rolling resistance.

You are never too young to start training for the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix.

It's not about the bike, it's about the engine.

If even one ounce indisputably makes you faster due to physics as I've learned on BF, your average MPH should go up by 14-15 on that bike.
