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

A Call To Action

To all members of Bike Forums: You are hereby being called to action by visiting the 41 Hall of Fame thread and participating in the nomination and voting process when it comes time. If you've ever wasted an entire morning watching a thread explode with comments ranging from the most idiotic to the sublime over the most mind numbingly arcane, and otherwise pedantic bike related topics such as bike shorts padding, shoe flex and chain lube, you owe it to yourself to register your disdain by nominating and voting. If you've ever hoisted your middle finger toward the monitor over an uncaptalized one word response from botto, or actually placed your face in the palm of your hands because of neverending Pcad nonsense, spit at the screen at yet another gawdawful Chipcom photoshop image, or lifted yourself off the ground after laughing at a R600DuraAce/Fred thread, then you are qualified to nominate and vote.

Go here, now. Bike Forums 41 thanks you.

Don't worry - there's a liberal movement under way to change that

pcad hasn't nominated a thread because he doesn't want to nominate one of his own, and those are the only ones he can remember.

Hey Pcad,

Do you remember when Pcadette's birthday is? Or does Ms. Pcad have to send you a reminder?

Voting isn't just yet. Please go nominate an un-nominated Fred thread. They're lacking a worthy presence.

Have you been embarrassed that you're into cycling from something you read here? Wasted a morning? Palmed your face? You're qualified.

yes, yes, and yes. and in a month's time... well, probably within the first few days, but that 'wasted morning' has happened more than once.

I'm embarrassed I'm into cycling every time I drive by some loser pedaling down the road.
