You spent more for a 700c tire than the 185/70R15 steel-belted radial on your first car... and you would be thrilled to get a tenth of the mileage out of it.

Someone mentions saddles or stables and a horse doesn't even cross your mind.

Don't even go there.

[don compton]

Don't even go there.
How many of us have tried an endless number of saddles? Because I have to sit fairly upright on my bikes, I have been to limit myself to only five Brooks B-17 ti saddles.
In all honesty, I have been hooked on cycling since the '84 Olympics. I was a golfer with a brutal back. I tried cycling and rode my first century one month later. I have never looked back( now 61 years). I have no regrets about anything I spent on cycling. And, that includes many trips. While I am disappointed with current "Lance Affair", I will still enjoy my riding and watching the pros.:banana:

...LBS kids wanna kick your A$$ when you don't drewl all over their latest employee purchase

...the first things you do when you get home from work are: check for new parts in the mail, walk in to HBS (home bike shop) and assess what work needs to be done with aforementioned parts or otherwise, check forum for any deals you may have missed in classifieds while "at work" since we all know our real job is our HBS

Or, to paraphrase Mark Twain:

The definition of a gentleman is "One who knows what ATMO means
but doesn't use it"

[AngryScientist]

this one hits home as it's been in the news recently:

when you hear "US Postal Service" - actual mail carrying is NOT the first thing that comes to mind.

[572cv]

if you know Velotel is not a telecommunications company, but rather a poster synonymous with illustrated epic Alpine climbing stories. (looking forward to 2013!)

... You wonder why they named a TV show after a Serotta steel bike.

Yes! I was gonna post that one!

[phcollard]

Yes! I was gonna post that one!

I'm not a TV show guy but the first time I saw this one I immediately connected the title to Serotta! My mind is twisted. Yes I dream about bikes almost every night :help:
