    Lisa, those films were just way cool. Cyclist really haven't changed much except for gear and apparel. I thought the music was a perfect fit for the whirling tires.

    You just don't see films like that anymore.

    I was surprised to hear the term "bonk" used. I would have guessed it to be recently created/applied.
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    Yes I was surprised to hear "bonk" as well. I loved the music too- so corny and perfect! Also, they all seemed so comfortable and happy riding their bikes.
    Wouldn't you just LOVE to join them for a little jaunt like that? I would!!

    And Mimi- they seemed a little overly OBSESSED with licking their labels if you ask me.
