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

There's gsteinb's Twitter Feed, a running stream of testosterone consciousness on the 33 where you can go for elitism, condescension and general disdain. It is the anti-Fred thread.

One does have to wonder if the Addiction and Twitter Feed threads were to be combined by some nefarious Mod, would that be like Velo Matter and Anti-Matter colliding in space? Would the Known Velo Universe as we know it cease to be?

All HE cares about trailing is this one.

I hope he's not trying to catch up.

But he is.

While reinstalling the crank, I pushed it too fast and with too much force and pushed out the non-drive side bottom bracket cup. God damn it.

Besides, this thread can never really replace the Go Ahead Ask Pcad Anything Thread that the stupid Mods wrecked.

See, now on other Forums calling the Mods stupid might get you banned. But this is BF. The Mods friggin well know how stupid they are, and how stupid this place is.

That's oddly comforting.

Now I just picked up the bike by the white handlebar tape and saddle. With my greasy hands.

And I'm supposed to be qualified to ride this thing?

I find it amusing how this thread is now pcad and I having conversations with ourselves.

Because I don't. I don't need any of you. You should all go eff yourselves.








Pcad rides alone. 50 tomorrow AM on the Cervelo. Just me, the iPod and those stupid sheep at the halfway point that always bleat at me as I ride past @ 7AM.

By with ourselves I meant individually. Both of us talking to ourselves. Separately.

But you know I'm a crucial part of this thread.

This stupid thread has devolved into some bizarro and depressing Fred Romper Room Nightmare.
