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 don't and I'm not old. I always thought tagging was what bored vandals did to buildings, bridges, and railway carriages.

I was going to take tomorrow off the bike, but I may go for a short ride in the rain and keep it in the 39.

I like riding in the rain.

It can be fun, but I don't like to head out when it's raining.

Only if it is warm. cold rain is no fun, just suffering.
