My bet would be on a sprinter.

It's probably more likely that they're planning on installing a
convertible road surface, like they have at stadiums so they can have
hockey one night and basketball the next. It might be some X-Games
skateboard thing going in. I sure hope the contractor doing the work
(probably doing the work at night and paying the overtime to get it
done on his own penny) finishes in time.

You know, the joke would've been much better if the CN writers
would've known when to stop. They went so OTT with it that it was
completely unbelievable. They should take lessons from velosnooze.
At least the Contador/Chick-Fil-A sponsorship story was much better.
If they'd published it on any other day and left off the last
paragraph, you could almost believe it.

I can not tell a lie, it was I. There was a need to complete the
driveway.

"They believe the cobbles are destined for the driveway
of a fan of the Belgian Classics."

Close, but not accurate. I am building a bike path.

I am Spartacus!

I am using the cobbles to build a castle, complete with dungeon, tower
and moat. The end of the world is coming, in case you haven't heard,
and there's no reason to believe that anyone will ever race up the
Koppenberg ever again.

Actually, true story, I know a one-legged guy that helped himself to a
bunch of cobbles from under a bridge where they were redoing some
streets. I just like the mental image of that.
