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

Well, to be picky, you wrote "driving", which doesn't refer to "riding a bike".

I've ridden home while buzzed once before. Although I made it safe, that's all I needed to know to not do it again.

True that, I didn't notice. But +1? Aren't we all in enough danger just being on the road in the first place?

I'm not a huge Cannondale fan, but that is slick. I have that General Lee sitting in my garage too. I need to break it out...there's a pretty badass BMX track that is open to the public where I live now. :-D

One slick looking rig. Hard to imagine a better, more tasteful set of component choices. I am turning bright green as a I gaze upon her. Thou shalt not covet your neighbor's bike. Posh to that!

Your CLX prompted me to repost a pic of my C40. Mine sits and waits for better weather while I spin on my SS or Specialized E5 through the muck and salt grime of winter.
