How many road bikes do you have?

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

Hopefully you will someday have enough sense to know that what works for you doesn't always apply to everybody!

SOme information is missing in this post - this isn't a reference to that Benz or Jag you had which I suspect is still in the garage?
