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

Forgot how much of a difference new cables make.

I've been a total bum with respect to replacing the cables and housing on my roadie. I've had the bike for two years this month and replaced one brake cable in that time. But I finally got off of my lazy butt and replaced them along with the chain and cassette (which have been replaced a bit more often, but still). It's like a new bike again.
