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

Some friends and co-workers and a few pro cyclists as well if possible.
That gets better...well, ok...different. Easier in some ways and harder in others.

Why do roadies need a thread about nothing at all? All my threads are about nothing at all. It's like they're saying I'm not doing my job around this place.

Apparently there is a grandfather clause. You appear exempt from moderation and thus allowed to create endless threads about nothing in particular and fill other threads with idle chatter while others are resigned to this particular thread.

Speaking of idle chatter, when you come in to see Billy maybe we can meet for lunch or something while he rides.

Who are you again?

To answer the Q, they're hoping some members will post here instead of encouraging you by responding to your threads. Obviously, that was a futile idea.
