Is this the End of Pcad?

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

So Pcad,

Do you slip on your bibs (nothing else) wander down to your den, slump in the corner, and stare wistfully at your bicycle every day?

The hydration bladder behind the seat has far superior capacity and is more convenient to sip from when you're rolling...

You don't feel as though you're about to become squashed roadkill when riding that rig?

When I'm in the lane, cars can't see me when they're right beside me so they sometimes move in on me -- no big deal if you expect it. You do need to mindful of getting pinned against curbs, parked cars, and the like. My description makes it sound scarier and more dangerous than it is.

Overall, I get cut way more space and treated significantly better than I do on a road bike because people keep mistaking me for being handicapped which can be simultaneously funny and depressing.
