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

Little known fact...

The standard 750ml wine bottle encased in wine bottle-type paper bag fits perfectly in standard water bottle cage. Discovered today when I rode over to the local Whole foods to get wine but forgot the bag I normally take for such trips.

Like any true domestique I carry the extra bottles in my jersey pockets. I didn't like putting them under the jersey as it seemed to easy for them to slip out the bottom.

The bottle cage is a better idea than this, IMO ridiculous thing that costs $34
