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

You shouldn't have posted that ad. People will be bugging the crap out of that guy to check if he still has that two-wheeled awesomeness!

$100 to install a rack?

In other news, who knew that a Denali would INCREASE in value? I'm going to go buy two for investment purposes.

There was a guy here selling a GMC Denali for $40. Seemed like a much more reasonable price.
