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

Bikes: Cannondale SuperSix & CAAD9, Singlespeed Seven

I thought mine handled well and was great on smooth roads, but it was too rough for me on rough/chip & seal roads, so I sold it to buy my Synapse (which will probably only be replaced by a custom dream bike).

New tires would have been a lot cheaper and just as effective.
