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 figured #3 was either parody theads, bikesdirect threads, or PCAD.

Bikes: are better than yours.

4. Too lazy to search threads

Pretty sad when the original thread gets closed before the parody.
