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

Brett 12?

Maybe that's how old he is?
Or maybe it's his 12th name?
Or how many hours a day on the forum?
Or how many bikes he wishes he had?

hmmm.........

Welcome back Kotter. I loved that show. Juan Epstein was the greatest!

If you are old enough to forget, you can ride with me anytime. How is that beautiful Eisentraut?

Yea, but I had my nose done and I'm quite a bit taller. Funny thing, I actually did a project with Ron Palillo in the early 80's for SelecTV in LA.

Y'alll need to get on yer bikes or go lick some Thylacine or toads or something. Who really gives a rats arse? At least waste your lives talking about something interesting like the best frame material or the ever fascinating Campy v. Shimano debate.

Life is passing you by. . .

On the way to hell

Not to get too serious, but there really is a tremendous wealth of knowledge out there that usually produces some useful information but not now soooo its back to the toads

It's a secret code. You'll need a special crypto-logorithmic software program, capable of adjusting for chaotic mathematical variations in the transaltion between several differant modern and ancient symbolic languages, including hiratic.

Let me know when you figure it out.

Good Luck!!!

(I knew some crypto-techs in the military)

Neither. Smits will never get there but he will make head way and he and Josh will learn something from each other. Alda will also get close and the viewers will learn something from him. Both are only long term guests on the show, incapable of carrying the show the way Martin Sheen can. Smits could, but as a US President? Alda is great, but not to the level he once was in terms of audience appeal.

Somebody big will come along and swoop down in the 11th hour. Could be a woman, who knows?

I got that same thought at the end when they were sitting in the coffee shop together. Aren't they on opposite parties? I have to admit that the 2 put together would make 1 great candidate.

Welcome back, 53-11. Good to see you back. As a friend, please take my advice and DON'T be schizo with this username. If you need to vent, unleash it on the fanboys at that other "cycling" forum.

You're last incarnation was 50% good contribution and 50% lame trolling. For some reason everyone focused on the trolling.

And btw, I got that Zurich delivered finally. Dude, it is literally BRAND NEW. One scratch on the downtube sticker, and one half-inch scratch on the toptube. The tires still have 'rubber prickers' on the seams, and the breakpads show barely -any- wear. Apparently the previous owner was a senior citizen who didn't take well to road cycling. I would guess less than 50 miles. I should have it out this weekend if my pedals come.

Nice. Plus you'll never notice those scratches once you've been riding it.

When you buy a complete bike from Ebay how should it come to you? Professional boxed from a bike shop is the answer....but what does that mean? How much assembly is required.

I suspect after ascending to the DNC leadership Howard Dean will turn to acting, get the nomination, and then become the President of the United States (at least on TV - YEHHAAAAAWWWW!!!)
