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

Is this true? BOTTO's been BANNED?

This is really funny. I'm brand new, so I've been reading and learning a lot. I started at the *very* begining, wondering why everyone was shopping for bikes at a POUND. What's a POUND, I thought. Then I figured out LBS. Then I got the hang of 105, Tiagra, Ultegra. I learned the word "gruppo", etc. It's been very useful - gave me the info I needed to make an informed decision about a bike.

However, I've spent about the last 24 hours - until finding this thread - thinking that Botto is some other crazy bike term I have to learn about. Ha.
