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

You're all addicted, none of you will be saved. He's leading you to places you don't want to go.

I think that some people like his sarcasm so his treads attract a lot of attention.

Thanks for the assessment though, it means a lot coming from you.

Who are you again?

If I had the time and the focus to do so I would use this as a thread as a 1 stop shopping repository of all of PCad's thread.
But that would be unpossible.

BF is populated by idiots. He is obviously the best at it.

I want to be old so I can wear these.

This seems like a good place to put this thought.

Pcad is a great guy who has ridden more than I could ever hope to in my entire life. Some people ride bikes--this guy LIVES cycling. So when he speaks up, he's speaking out of hundreds of thousands of miles of experience and not out of his ass, unlike most of us here.

He also has this ability to not take himself or his sport too seriously--something that's often sorely lacking around here, as evidenced by the tizzy that people get worked up into over his comments and threads.

He's a good guy, and hopefully someday our paths will cross and we'll be able to go for a ride. Then I'd just have to be able to keep up.

Pcad, thanks for keeping it interesting around here.

I find his witty condescension rather refreshing. Anybody can be an a$$hole but Pcad makes me hate myself and my stuff in a positive way.

On the cycling , I'm sure you'll keep up. On the talking, fugedabboudit, you'll never get a word in edgewise.

Every forum I've been to has one (or multiple) guys like him.

Though he's honestly the most rational/logical guy out of all of them.
