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

Bike Kill...

I love this forum, but haven't met any of you in person (that I know of). When I read your posts though my mental images of you guys is pretty much like Julie Glassberg's photographs of the Black Label Bike Club:

The Black Label Bike Club looks like a sausage party with a few low caliber chickenheads thrown in.

I am also pretty sure the Black Label Book Club could whoop their collective asses.

Just another generational group of disaffected youth likely raised in upper-class, entitled families, where approx half will eventually become ivy-league lawyers & high-powered executives while the other half become career dishwashers.

Looks like it's hippies being hippies. They needed something to do after "Occupy" was forgotten.

Remove the coolness and the toughness, and replace the leather and torn denim with high-vis yellow and spandex, and I think that's pretty much accurate.
