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

Slightly dated, but I hadn't seen it mentioned elsewhere. Joe Friel in a crash. Hit close to home as I've been looking at 50 or 60 mm wheels.

I blame this on YOU! Soon as you came, he left.

@RUOkie, I have done some research to support your move to Japan, and the following names appear to be BF available: RULost, RUSureaboutthis, RUJapanese, RUNippon, and RULonesometonight. The last one only came up because I am in a "Lady and the Tramp" mood.
