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 like that Lime Green Trek. You should keep the frame to use as wall art.

It is getting white tape. I just picked it up, have only been on it once and had to go out of town for work.
