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

The struggle is real. Right now, I am heavily weighing a new neck for one guitar (it works, I just want something that will work better) vs. new shoes for the gravel riding (Again, I have shoes that work, but want something that will work better).

Kinda like that, but he could turn it on and off at will, so I think it's more technical than that.

I ride with three guys who own Cervélos. One is a World Bank guy (R5), one is a partner at a fancy downtown firm (R3), and one is a business guy (commercial real estate; R3). Not exactly Joe lunchpail types, but not a dentist among them.
