You Shall All Covet The New Addiction

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

That wasn't concern, it was wild optimism. At the same time of course I do fully realize you aren't a competent enough marksman to successfully shoot your whacko self.

We'd never know the difference, that's the problem. With S.A., no matter which way you slice it, it's Night of the Living Fred.

We dumped our Dex advertising today. It's liberating. What a waste of money.

Actually. I hit myself in the mid section with a 9mm ricochet a few years back. Left a little welt, but didn't puncture the skin. So incorrect, I have "shot my whacko self".

So I tried to help the kid who put together his Nashbar frame that he put his seat collar on backwards. I said it very politely and tactfully.

What do I get? Some knucklehead telling me I am incorrect: https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...-Nashbar-build

Sigh.

My father was 89. Funeral tomorrow. Made a collage with old photos. Found some old (1938-1939) bike photos. My mother was in 7th or 8th grade, this was written on the back. The whole class I guess from the all girls school in the city rode out to her house in a rural area. Photo of all the girls at the house with the bikes. At least ten riders.
About 8 miles one way two big hills. All single speeds, mostly fat tire bikes. I think one thinner tire single speed that looks like shaft drive. I'll post it a couple of days

I forgot about Sam. I miss my dogs.

Let's see a Sam photo. This thread would be substantially better if people regularly posted photos of their dogs. Dogs are good for the soul.
