Well, I really think we have better bike POTENTIAL than Holland...

Hey, I'm not kidding, just that being at the bottom, we can only go
up!

Besides our nightmarish s-p-r-a-w-l can be turned into an opportunity.
No, we may never be riding comfort 3 speed Dutch bikes, but our g-r-e-
a-t-e-r distances allow for faster bikes that will bring out the real

potential Armstrong.

More or less. The key word is "POTENTIAL."

In a land where SUVs rule, it may seem counterintuitive or even stupid
to ride a bike... But a man gotta do, what a man gotta do. (Hey,
