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

My point of this thread is most of us losers that spend way to much time here is for the entertaiment. We need more of it. So I make a call out to all of the lurkers to put in your 2 cent once in awhile.

Bikes: Some bikes. Hell, they're all the same, ain't they?

Nobody said "infotainment" yet?

What I find ironic is that it seems that this forum talks about gear more than any other, yet what I take away is that, "The gear doesn't matter."

No, it's gear doesn't matter as much as engine. But gear matters

Yeah, but you're about 180 days behind on the Psimet tips of the day.

.....I was waiting for someone to bring that one up. .

After starting the tip of the day I discovered blogging and it filled the empty space within me that the tip of the day was supposed to fill.
