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

damn Cervelo riders













disclaimer: I'm far from the type that will bash someone for riding a high end bike while not having the power to back it up. I'm pointing out that it's a Cervelo for the obvious reason.

I didn't realize it until someone pointed it out after I got it. Then I embraced it.

I just looked through my phone photos (all 289) that have been taken since august, when I got it.

Here is my life since then:

Not me, took photo

Me in fall, mtbing. Old bike.

Messin around da hood.

Just before I crashed and ripped my toupe.

First 'cross race.

xmas snow

Mtbing at Schaffer farms.

Triking to a girl's house with friend on that back. Now that's how I get all the ladies. Massive guads powered us up the hills.

The deck furniture and grill are in place. Looks great. It gets a fresh coat of stain next week. Almost there. We're really going to enjoy it out there this summer.

Life is good.

Despite the Mets. God help me they do suck.

There's summer in New York?

Trying to contain my velo awesomeness is as fruitless as using one of these.

Bon Jovi is a nice guy but he sucks as a music star. Why do so many people like his stuff?

Not for nothing you bike weenie idiots, but I am living proof that you can achieve Epic BF Fame and Success and still retain the humility that makes you a Beloved BF Legend.

Nostalgia. Pure and simple. Not many of them 80's guys can still sing as well as he does. Not that he could ever really sing, but for that style I mean.
