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

What video was this?

Hey, I remember finding a link to a video on YouTube a while ago on the forums featuring a man who had some kind of crazy bike with no front derailleur and like a 55 tooth chainring. He carried like a gallon of milk with him and had a utility belt with cookies on it hahahaha. If anyone knows the video I'm talking about, a link or what to search for would be appreciated. Thanks!

As the interviewer, how could you not laugh?

A weight weenie who has to take a bus up the hill to get home. Likes anything flat.
He doesn't ride mch. Doesn't drink water, only things that are easy to digest (like milk and cookies).
56/21
Takes about an hour a day to decide what of his many combos of gears and BELTS.
$16,300.00 Bike. Doesn't ride much. Short FAST rides.
A fat old man in purple.
"To you kids out there, don't wear a helmet. It's all about looking good"
"ATTACK THE PACK. There's no rhyme or reason to training"

This was hillarious.

Does anybody know the Gray Wolf personally? I would like to order one of his custom do-rags.

I loved when he said sometimes he'll ride home with a gallon of white milk on one side of is belt, and a gallon of chocolate milk on the other side. Were the chainrings on his bike meant to be drilled? They don't look like any Q-Rings I've ever seen!

Wow the guy is serious. $16300 for a bike you barely ride well or at all.

I didn't bother to listen to the whole thing. Did he mention what his power output or at least avg speeds are?

That is one interesting video...

There is just so much wrong for the reporter to keep a straight face... but he does.
