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

Funny stuff by a recumbent rider

Any roadie out there has be laughing pretty darn hard when they read stuff like this posted by a recumbent rider. A lot of "smoking" talk going on in the recumbent world. Funny that some benters are always bragging about "smoking" diamond frame riders when there is no official race happening.

Not all recumbent riders are like this "smoking" fellow. Just laugh when you see stuff like this posted on the net and don't take the people bragging about "smoking" whatever too seriously.

Post from Bicyling.com
"I rode the baron, the one Ive had on the trainer outside over the weekend and did 40 miles in ferrocious winds. I took on a big pack of team racers out training.......... smoked them through a 6 mile section, but burned myself out early and got dropped on a climb.......

Royal,
I have a hard time taking crank spinning on a bent muffler pipe frame too seriously.

Have a good ride.
