Forget Kestrel, this old bird is way more fly...Flying Pigeon

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

i have faith in claims made by people selling things. will i see you at church this weekend, again?

only a fool requires proof.

ps- you should try riding with a saddle, or at least lube the seatpost...

sheldon brown has some great tips to remove them when theyre stuck.

Must be an old photo because most of the Chinese have traded in their bikes for cars. In 1995 I spent a few week in China and there were 15 million bicycles in Shanghai.

Also, the air in Shanghai is nasty as is the water in the Yangtze River.
