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

Or as Steve McQueen put it in the movie "LeMans":

"racing is life .... everything else is just waiting"

Word up. (I think that's hip-hop lingo for 'that's the truth').
