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

Funny enough, I'd never ride a motorcycle on the road, but I would race one. It's much safer. At least in Miami.

I see a lot of intersection between cycling, motorcycles and sailing. Must all attract similar idiots.

Jen - so why'd you bring the Brandy thread back from the dead?

That was a curious move.
