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

I am still trying to get it I guess, but I can't see the rationale for taking a nice road bike and turning it into a fixie. I guess I just never swallowed the Kool Aid.
