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

One of those nights....

So I was on the rollers tonight playing with my new Bike Computer. I tried to be fancy when I got off the bike by just stepping off of the right side before the wheels stopped rolling. I ended up putting my knee through my $50.00 Karbon Lite bottle cage. There goes the $50.00 I saved on the computer....
