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

Cervelo SLC-SL w/blank carbon deep sections and what looked like a high end group set on a rack on top of the most beat ass early 90's Honda sedan.

Someone has their priorities in line, definitely made me happy.

Nope, I was going up Mt. Wilson Tue morning and I haven't been riding evenings since I'm on Summer break.

I always like carrying my Seven on top of my beat ass 99 Honda Civic hand-me down (the wife drives the nice Subaru, I get the car she beat up for ten years, broken mirrors, busted bumper, and poor-person sounding exhaust).

But the Seven, she is nice, yes?

I'm giving up the WRX to take the wife's old CR-V and get her something newer. What the hell, I never drive anyway and the CR-V has long been paid for...

I hate to say it, but I am. I was at a birthday party and unfortunately my friends prefer quantity over quality with beer. I should have really photoshopped a Racer 5 or Arrogant Bastard label on that bottle.

I don't know, I grew out of driving with my dong. A Honda Fit is fine for me.
