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

Try this again after posting a picture of yourself doing a backflip.

until then you might want to consider replying with a smile.... or something.

you have to right click the facebook image and get the url to the image itself, not the page that the pic is sitting on.

Love the Colnago. But then again, I can't figure out why the 'murdered' look is so popular. I'm not riding in a funeral procession! Cycling is fun. Except when it's not. hmm... maybe the bike is supposed to echo the pain? Anyway, this Colnago looks happy!

The murdered out look was good when it was novel, now it is way too common.

^Ok, I must be too new, because it never seemed 'cool' to me. But then, I like color and I think your bicycle should also represent your personality. I understand the "RULES" and most of them are valid advice, some are simply pedantic, but maybe that's part of being a tad (and by tad I mean oceans of) OCD bike guy/gal.

I do love this thread, though. Maybe I'm a tad OCD bike guy also!
