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

What are the best wheels for bonking? Also, what if I can no longer wave after I bonk because I've not enough glycogen left?

bonk
Expression used by cyclists to describe excercise induced low blood sugar levels; being a feeling of light-headedness and weakness in all limbs. Similar to 'The Wall' in running. Has fallen out of usage in recent years due to alternative meanings.
Urban Dictionary: bonk

8 years of running and I've never thought of "The Wall" and bonking as the same. Are they really the same thing?
