The stationary bike non pareil: Meet you at the foot of Alp d'Huez, sucker!


Stationary bikes. Hate 'em.

Even this one, which is internet-enabled to allow you to race anyone else in the whole dang world wide web, on the course of your choice-- say Paris Roubaix, or RAGBRAI, or maybe even the Pinch Flat News Thirstday Night Ride.

We don't like exercise bikes. Frankly, we're not crazy about the internet either -- to the extent that it's where we write about riding rather than actually riding.

Rather like a five hours of dryhumping each day, innit? But we're in it together, Loyal Reader. We're in it together...

Also, this: Where are the brakes? Are we to assume that this bike will only race to mountain-top finishes, and that drafting will not be allowed? That would be dumber than triathlon, and we didn't think that was possible.
