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

Thanks

Thanks

I just wanted to say that.

There was a time that I thought the 41 was awful, but then I embraced the suck and found plenty to be entertained by, laugh at, and enjoy.

Carry on you wonderful troglodytes.

Sarcastic and snide remarks are to be expected on the internet with so many "expert" at the keyboard.

It can be entertaining, but it can also make getting a helpful answer harder when you have to browse through all the BS.

My favorite threads are any involving a MUP. Those seem to get the experts raging.

+1 This place would be less ridiculous without all the Keyboard Guadzilla Heroes in here re-stating their brilliance with "41. lol."

Same here!!!
When I 1st joined I frequented to C&V,MTB, & BMX. The 41 was just a place I didn't think I could fit in with.
About a year later, & a few months of "daily diligence" has made me HTFU!!!
I'm sarcastic by nature, & find the 41 a natural fit, a better fit that my newest bike.

I like the Bib vs Shorts threads, & all the "I'm a noob which bike should I buy threads"(Which I was guilty of a few months back ). The "Hot or Not" thread has become a favorite of mine, I luv all the banter, & C&C!
