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

Sounds like Thomas Newman to me. From The Green Mile score.

That looks even dumber than cycling. True, I went on a pointless ride yesterday, but at least I didn't get all muddy. Just a small grease spot on my calf.

Just got back from a short ride - 60°, but it sprinkled on me. I know - I have your sympathy.

From: dusk 'til dawn.

Bikes: everywhere

Hahaha!

Glad I've never had any super gnarly saddle sores. The ones featured in Discovery Channel: Coldest Race on Earth with James Cracknel were pretty bad. Then the doc trying to remove the blister bandages from said sores was some burly action too. Yeow!!!

Considering how much I love getting dirty, wet, cold, scraped up, exhausted, and any other type of trouble I can find in the wilderness, we wouldn't get along. Walking through mid-calf-deep mud is pretty mild.

I thought me may have been able to walk them over but it was VERY soft mud, so we decided to park them there.

Don't you have to paint before you install?

Yes.


The bike, not the crank.
