Dear poor wannabe racers

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

Dear poor wannabe racers

If you can't afford nice crap, work harder at your job. Jealousy is an ugly color on anyone.

If youth is wasted on the young, then wealth is wasted on the old.
If it makes you feel any better, I wish I were 23 and broke again. (Well, maybe half of that.)

So, who's this annoying little girl and why's he talking crap?

You can't come barging in here with only 175 posts, calling Pcad pcboy, and thinking you're the new ****. You're not even worth being called ****, that's above you.

Wealth is certainly not wasted on the youth. Just ask this guy.
