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

BrokeBlack Mountaineer

When you bought it you became Broke
The color is predominantly Black
And you can climb steep hills and mountains with ease hence, you become a Mountaineer

Shamu is what a guy I know calls his wife's obese sister (whom he doesn't like).


How about 'The Talonator', or 'Falcon of Death'

- Oreo (recommended)
- Shamu / Orca / Killer (recommended)

Thank you all in advance.
My black bikes are the Black Dahlia and the Black Mambo.

By the way, that seat looks painful.

Yeah, I just call mine, "The Bike," so I guess I'd be no help.
Amusing thread, though.
