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 think to keep racing on the graph, I will have to put some activities on the non-pointless side of the line.

Hey, they can only be so much better than us, so the more we suck, the less they don't suck.

I know that drill well. My building that my business is in is almost as much as my house mortgage. That gets tough when work is slow. I should just build an apartment in my business and move there, sell the house.

they always have but what is causing the current upsurge in hubris? you would think being able to ride fast is directly related to being more smart, creative, rich, cool, intelligent, powerful, sexually potent....etc.

i say they are wrong.
