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

How and why has Hello Kitty made a comeback (assuming it ever went away)?

You would think the American consumer learned after the first go-round.

much as i'm flattered that you think it is doable on the folder, i think such an effort requires road bike and lycra. the serious assault on the mountain requires serious looking road nazi uniform.

I'm afraid VV left because of me so I will hold further comment, RU.

It was sad to see the "Megamall" being built in the first place but of the many stores that have failed I was glad to see Hello Kitty go. Come to think of it I think they never recovered from a robbery of a large shipment from Japan. Maybe not so good the way it went but gone all the same. The General Mills theme park was another that is happily gone. People in costumes shaped like pieces of cereal making you eat pieces of themselves was too creepy for words.
