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

lose the models, not the bikes...

that Michelob Ultra commercial - has anybody seen it? beefy-armed white guy model and pouty-lipped white girl model bouncing around in the saddle like a couple of tools.

it's so funny - i just saw a girl who lives in my neighborhood who rides for a local team in dc called snow valley and just like all the other racers i've seen she has that great quietness in her upper body.

not to mention how absurd a low-carb beer is for somebody who rides a bike.

LOL, Merton. As long as you say it will be okay, that's good enough for me.

How about a Miller High Life commercial making fun of the low carb craze. Have a guy in his garage taking off his helmet, wiping down his bike, and drinking a High Life while looking down the street at a guy cracking and dying on his Huffy. Miller, you have my permission to use this idea.

From what I understand Lance actually rode (he trains
cyclocross in the winter and has done a few MTB competitions
in the austin area).
Now, did he REALLY lose his buds in the woods?
