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

How else do you organize? I do that, gain about enough room for another box, admire my handiwork, and do it again in ten years.

Had a dad dream last night. I was riding from my house to catch my train to Pittsburgh. The bike was very unstable. Looked at my front wheel and discovered that most of the casing of my front tire was showing.

Hope that’s not a bad omen.

I was snoring at that time. Then I got up and went to bed.

Delivering another bike today. My wife and I will be down to 5 bikes between the two of us. N-1 plan is rolling right along. Soon, I'll start on wheels, cranks, and other sundries.
