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

Does Jersey Shore inform viewers how people in NJ live, the way that Gossip Girl shows viewers how people in NYC live?

It's frightening to think that Gomer here is intellectually well above average for Tennesseans.

I can't do a ride that has less than 1500 feet of climbing. Most have 3,000 feet or more.

But my 1500 is within an hour. I don't have the leisure, the time, nor the will to ride all day long like you.

Why do I get the impression that I have 3x more mileage under my belt than you in the first six months of 2010 than you have in your entire pathetic cycling career?

OK, then I have almost as much mileage in the first six months of 2010 than you have in your entire pathetic career.

The Prius we're considering has a sticker price of $30K. How stupid is that?

I used that while riding tonight and the sweat got on it, Couldn't see a thing. Then it was a bug in the eye... So a didn't see a thing, all the way home
Vision is overrated.

My glasses often get a little sweaty. I don't bother trying to clean them while I'm out. It works out fine.

I wear prescription eyeglasses, but not prescription bike glasses (at the moment), so things are a little fuzzy to start.

But, hey, I can still see cars and road hazards. I mean, It's not like you're reading a book while riding.
