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

Probably the best way to describe it to a NYer is to say that Lake Minnetonka is the Hamptons of MN. Cute towns, that are slow-paced in the off-season, surrounded by mansions and often swarmed by the well-to-do during the summer.

They don’t if you turn them in at the end of the lease. Changing the fluids and filters is someone else’s problem. That is how I like it.
