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

Seen it before. But actually, it'd be a heck of a lot safer at home than it would on that mountain.

He brakes with the heel of his shoe... he almost lost it a few times when braking.

Too funny.
