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

That cervelo might be all sexy and fast as lighting, but can you bunny hop it?

So what's the problem? Perfect audience for you.

But really, I think we should work to create a vibrant community that Limey cyclists can call their own.

I don't wanna. Plus there's too many sticks from the storm all over the road. Or at least that's my excuse.

But while I'm sniffling one of my tires could shoot out from under me as I roll over a stick and I could smash my Atmos.

That would be bad.

We don't have long mups in my city. We have the canal trail, but it's mostly gravel, and if you think Florida is flat.....
