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 got rid of mine awhile ago. I have a bag with about 25 computers waiting for.....something. I can't toss them as they still work.

Once you do that, wrap your head around the pro downhillers doing 75mph:


or the guy that holds the world speed skiing record of 156.2mph:

I want to buy them, tear the guts out, hook them up with a powertap, and integrate them into my sunglasses.

Or I guess I could just wait and hope someone does it for me, cause I'm lazy.
