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

Sorry to have to tell you this, but you need to learn the facts of life: The difference between your annoying picture laden thread about your new bike and Jen's annoying new bike thread is that no one will care about your thread.

that's actually the only song of his i like. i like talib kweli a lot more.

hey pcad, to your list of free things at columbia you should add free concerts every spring. talib kweli performed last year & ghostface performed this year. hopefully, we won't be dumb enough to invite gaga, but i doubt it

In hindsight it was an interesting experience because you develop a pretty keen sense of awareness when it comes to being aware of potential threats and bad situations.

on a more serious note, off the top of my head, i think Rudy takes billing. he went there for law school

It's what happens if you wear underwear under your shorts.

Hope it turns up, though...

good music is good music no matter how old you are or where you are. Then again, good hip hop died with start of the 21st century, and now we can thank my classmate Pitbull for finishing it off.

LBS has tracking number 1: something shipped from Ontario to Jax Beach, arriving the 5th.

Cervélo has tracking number 2: something shipped from Ontario to Jax Beach, arriving the 4th.

Now, LBS says they aren't expecting any other deliveries from Cervélo, so they say #1 must be my bike. Cervélo says my bike is attached to #2. Maybe they should fire one of their many engineers and get a g--damn shipping coordinator.

here Jorge, you've got this man to thank for your troubles. just count your blessings that you didn't live near Tremont. if you want, we can organize a trip of some sort & spit at monument of his

By the way, should we refer to you as razor anymore? it might confuse new people.
