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 felt like posting this somewhere, but it doesn't really pertain to road cycling. Since this thread doesn't either I figure I'll post it here.

I'm considering getting the Salsa Chili Con Crosso to race instead of the Crux.

Do it.

I have this odd obsession with Salsas. Although I'm fine right now with my Podio and El Mariachi, I think a Vaya would be pretty cool.

Overrated. Especially around Iowa. I also figured that I won't need gears, especially when I saw an old guy in Moab riding Amasa Back on a single speed.

Single speed rigid 29er? Outside of the fact that you read some forums and other idiots on said forum bought one, what on gods green earth compelled you to buy a bike like that?

Because after riding multiple mountain bikes, I liked the rigid ss 29er the most.

I suppose I should have been a lemming about it, but if that was the case I would also have a CAAD9

Is this one of those things like a "fixie" where I "just have to ride it to understand"? I didn't fall for that when hipsters told it to me, and I'm not falling for it now.

Watch out down there. Last week some guy crashed out and had to get a helicopter evac, and since then the cops have been going crazy on handing out tickets for running the stop signs.

I normally ride Tu/Thur AM there.

F man, that's awful. I'll make sure I'm better about it. I hope they aren't the cops that believe stop means "unclip both feet and plant them firmly on the ground".

I'm assuming a car hit him?

You could ride tomorrow too you know
