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

It will be OK. You can last another day.

I survived two straight days without riding while the Velo Volmobile was a wounded duck. I'm still alive. This evening I ride again.

Inspirational, I know.

It's a shame he didn't have the vision to turn his ideas about urban planning to help shape all communities instead of displacing so many.

It'll be a longer wait than for your Cervelo.

Leverage is your friend. Try slipping a length of pipe over the end of the hex wrench.
