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

If it were cold out, wouldn't there be a problem with the chamois freezing to the skin that it's next to?

Didn't Dr Evil have 3 testicles? Oh, and PI has some gloves, right, with Carbon inserted into the Pittards leather palms of gloves? Definitely not a new idea (well, the 3 testicles thing might be).
