Top Cutlines:

1. David, obviously in Italy too long: “What? You missed that Turin? You can say Vatican. What a bunch of Bologna. Next time you want to Rome around here, just ask me Venice the best time to ride. Coach is gonna give you a Pisa his mind and probably make Udine alone tonight. I’ll Siena while” — JohnA.
2. Christian, I think you misheard me. I said “Let’s compete in the Tour de France”, not “Let’s hit the street and breakdance” — OrangeTV.
3. Do we have to put your training wheels back on? — Charlie.

And in an instance everything changed for Vande Velde as his vision for the highly popular recumbent-style bicycle became astonishingly clear. Later he credited his invention to the fact that he was mostly “tired of the skid marks” that came from competitive cycling.
