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

If liking tight fitting lycra is wrong, I don't want to be right.

I bought a pair of Assos (F13 I believe-the expensive ones) several weeks ago. They are very comfortable and well made, but IMHO not worth the premium they command vs other quality bibs that are much less costly.
