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

The dude on the Cervelo was in front. Scientific evidence that Cervelo's are fast

Suddenly, the camera zooms out to show the gap to the leader... riding a Motobecane.

A guy on a recumbent passed me going the other way. It was so fast, it made me feel like I was going backwards.

Just talk about something you have for sale. That'll do the trick.
