Lucky Luke. Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Running 112km along the wild coast in 3 days (one of the most beatiful spots on earth) and now being ABSOLUTELY sure that cycling is the KING of sports! Exactly, the invention of the wheel is a landmark in human history for good reason. The invention of shoes is not even in the same ballpark.
