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 just don't get why people can't just appreciate the beauty of the actual riding in those vids, rather than having to put on their safety nanny hats. These same people probably b!tch about what bad examples Benny Hill or the Stooges are.

IT'S A VIDEO, IT'S OVER, IT'S DONE WITH, YOU WEREN'T THERE TO SCOLD THEM, GET OVER IT!

I wasn't serious with the riding into curb/ditch thing btw - probably should of used a more sarcastic smiley.
