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 do fight mine, you guys have no idea how much I regret not spending a few hundred more and have some 105 or rival or heck, even Tiagra.

I can't reach the thumb levers when I'm in the drops...

How come there's hardly any cycle chicks around Knoxville. Are they hiding in Florida?

You just made an happy man, too bad they'll turn back when they'll see him.

There's actually been a female at some of the Road Nazi rides who was still with the group when I got dropped.

That's embarrassing.

I mean the College is in my town (it's not a community college), I'd be crazy to go elsewhere for a freaking BA, I'll look at ratings/standings of faculties once I'll be doing my Master, but for a Ba? No thank you, I'll save money.

It's kinda obvious when you're "struggling" to maintain 8mph on your $2,000 carbon bike behind some chick in a bikini.

No. The "there are" was to correct Gomer's impeccable speech of "there is".
