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

Not at all umd. The two of you simply can't hear how I'm saying it, and that doesn't surprise me.

I did that once a long time ago with my mountain bike. Worse I was just doing a k turn in my friend's apartment complex. Broke the rack, my fork, and as I recall dented the roof.

This is my preferred method of transporting my bike by car. I have a 4 door sedan though, so it's quite easy.
