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'll just say this, I really enjoy riding my steel frame Nishiki Olympic and personally I really like the Lemond bikes so I'll probably start shopping around soon as I feel like getting a new bike. I know that there are a lot of good frames out there but like I said, I just happen to like Lemond.

Hey, sometimes you just have to do a poseur ride.
It's like a recovery day except that you just got a new jersey!

maybe we can liven it up with some VC discussion.

Dang, Kirke! That IS hot! You will look so fast in that ... just remember to ride nice and slow so the Penguin man can read it and report back on how well you pose.

Can I be your friend?

Of course I'm old to have ridden Motos when that jersey wasn't retro.

Unless of course you don't make sure your quick release levers are properly closed and you crash again.
