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

Hey! I just put thumb clicker Soras on my '89 Raleigh Technium! I am as up to date as I need to be. I guess I just own a bicycle. I am not very serious. I only ride about 3000 miles a year. Please forgive me for being so tacky.
