January 21, 2010 - Bicycle ride

Wmsbg. On one flat stretch I decided to go 20 mph. It was very hard to sustain for more than 20 seconds or so. Also noting that tire inflation matters greatly; I'm now "light" enough that I don't need the tires to be rocks and in fact a little give is a good thing, cuts down on the bumping and makes it easier to pop over huge ruts in the road or the spare shoe left alongside a curb, those small items that unseen can knock one down and throw one into traffic or under a bus at which point said bus rips your neck off and drags your still-screaming head thirty or forty feet before it becomes an unrecognizable mess of lumpmeat.
