What's Happened to the Avatars?

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

My old Trinity thread got about 7 pages of responses. Of course I had to post the living heck out of it to do that.

(And Rad helped )

Hey! There is nothing wrong with piercings! They in no way relate to tree-hugging

I wonder if the walama is a cyclist? It seems to have excellent cardio-vascular strength. It just keeps going, and going, and going. The energizer bunny rabbit would be impressed.

If nothing else, that's the worst case of gas I have ever seen. Constant flatuation, uuggghhhh!!!!!!!
