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 guess that's just the Yankee coming out in me. I grew up in the cold; it feels right. The heat on the other hand.....

(Before the flames begin (global warming play on words), I know that these are tentative findings and reported in a second party source; but upon seeing this in the morning, I thought immediately of this thread)
Is it wrong if I'm slightly happy about this? I've always disliked the wind. I'll take rain, snow, heat, cold, whatever... but once wind is involved, it's always annoying.

Although I guess a gentle breeze doesn't hurt when the weather is hot...
