Remember when you pedaled that first bike down the block? When you took off on your own--faster and farther than ever before? Freedom and fun: that's what people most remember when they return to cycling later, says Dave Glowacz, author of Urban Bikers' Tricks & Tips.

I'll see your Quemoy, and raise you Matsu...
Experience teaches that the presidential campaign debate is a retarded and radically uninteresting art form anyway.
