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

Bikes: Nothing amazing... cheap old 21 speed mtb

Errr... My wife thinks the same of me. I spend a lot of free time riding or fixing bikes. On the plus side I'm fit, strong, never get winded and in general great shape mentally and physically. On the minus... well it does take some time from the family. I'd have to say sorry, this is my life, the kids get Dad time, Wife gets husband time and I'm not a couch potato.

awesome! Just awesome!
