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

I know I'm going to sound old, but what does "mega" mean in that context?

I took the grey one on the San Diego century a couple of weeks ago and actually swapped in the Carbon Lite while waiting on a new one to be delivered from ProBikeKit just because it's that much more of a comfortable saddle (to me).

Maybe it's a British-ism I've picked up from too many hours wasted on F1 forums. You can substitute "excellent", or if you really want to feel old, "amazeballs".

true thing, that's the most decent one I have so far ... every time I'm out and the weather/scenery is perfect all I have on me is iPhone 5 (hence the pic quality) ... and when I say to myself - photo-shoot time with a nice camera and everything the weather sux or something else get's in a way, hehehe
