That reminds me! I've been thinking of writing an article entitled, "WWJR?:

(What Would Jesus Ride?)" Bike, components, tires, gruppo, etc...

I'm thinking single-speed cross bike, with regular canti brakes. Single

speed because J.C. was a man of simplicity; canti brakes because it hardly

ever rains in Palestine (why pay the weight penalty of disc brakes?) and a

cross bike because Jesus was no stranger to pain and suffering and also,

that old favorite hynm: "the old, rugged cross."



Any thoughts?

 Contrary to the belief implicit in quoted statement, a bicycle is not

capable of conferring character upon a person that doesn't already have

it. It's probably one of the better catalysts for making your true

character visible, but that's all it is. You have the option of

accepting that revealed character for what it is, or you can work on

yourself to change it, or you can surrender yourself to Jesus Christ and

let Him change you from the inside out. In no case does the bike do

that for you.
