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 have two blue bicycles. The older one is a Maruishi. The newer one is a Marinoni.



EDIT: I'm just checking to see if I can post pics out of Flickr.

Incidentally, did you all know that blue bicycles are the fastest bicycles?

Light bicycles are faster than heavy bicycles, right?
Nothing is lighter than air.
The sky is made up of air.
The sky is blue.
Therefore blue bicycles are the fastest.

Hehehehe.

That's why it doesn't need pedals.



Or handlebars, for that matter.
