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

Hot. but mostly because you referred to your bike as 'it' instead of 'her'

What's wrong with referring to bikes as "her"?
I find females hot(most) so its a natural comparison.

I am sure you are having fun riding it, but calling it "hot" is just wrong.

I don't pop in here very often, but we're seeing a run of some very nice looking rides, both old and new. Nice going all!
