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

Bikes: Serotta Fierte and a 1989 Centurion Prestige (plus, various others)

They are also working on see-thru spandex. One example is shown with author Mike Magnuson wearing shorts and a jersey for the cover of "Heft on Wheels" (great book, FYI.)

The other example is a time-trial skin suit.

I'd want mine done up like a christmas snow globe. Run over some bumps, instant blizzard.

take it one step further and rig a clock mechanism to the crank that dispenses one skittle every mile. i know that would keep me going.
