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

For sure, a great simple one online and then one in the store, I love that.

Actually you know who has the best nutritional chart surprisingly? Chipotle, it's listed by ingredient!

Taco bell is better and cheaper, especially if you stick with bean burritos.

If you're worried about money, then why are you doing fast-food ? Hit the deli & bakery departments at the supermarket.

General Mills published a study that said buying food at the supermarket/grocery store saves money in the long run compared to the convenience of fast food/TV Dinners.

If I had the link I'd post it. But it was something I read months ago and found very interesting.

for $2 more, I just went to the Italian market and got an awesome prosciutto and fresh mozarella with tomato sammich on some badass italian bread. Soooooo good.

Erroneous? How could anything about taco bell be erroneous? It's the best!

If you really want to splurge, the 7 layer burrito is a thing of beauty.

More hot sauce please!!

Guys ease off I probably make more of my meals at home than 98% of people my age, I'm just saying if you don't have time to throw together some dinner or lunch (I personally have to make my lunch and dinner before work 4 days a week and bring it to work due to my weird hours) it's a really really good deal.
