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 saw a tandem bike made of two bikes facing away from each other; the dude's girlfriend was in the rear position and pedaling backwards. pretty neat! too bad i didn't get a picture.

Local guy built one. Would take it to fairs and bet people they couldn't ride straight for 20m.
