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

I've seen that before. I think it helps them pull the tyres out of the mould or something.

It all washes off.

I never washed off the film, it eventually comes off with riding.

You're lucky. One of my LBS's was pimping Michelin Speediums for 30.00 each. That's the kind of "deal" I get offered (but politely decline).
