Is this true? BOTTO's been BANNED?

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

There isn't an entry.

Type whatever you want and a page will show up for it.

LOL.. it had a good hour...

botto

(bot-tow)

I fictional character on internet cycling forums with great following during the years 2006-2007. Responses of a botto to a thread include either "correct" or "incorrect".

Reference:

https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=280665

This was the reason from wikipedia for dropping the reference:

Bikeforums.net doesn't have a wikipedia article, so it follows that its user accounts aren't particularly notable, either


man, what arrogance.

Maybe Botto never really existed...

Maybe this whole thing is just in our minds...

We created Botto...We destroyed Botto...

Wow...like a Twilight Zone episode....

So it follows, then, that we need to make a bikeforums.net entry before we create one about botto.

correct?

You know even second rate porn actresses get on wikipedia. Tough when you can't even meet their standards.
