Some dude on an old-school middleweight cruiser heading uphill....fast!
When I saw him, my reaction was something like this: :eek:
Think 1950s-style Scwhinn with one gear (maybe a two-speed kickback hub, but does it really matter?). I was descending and he was about ¾ of the way up on the steeper part of the climb. No helmet. Cotton t-shirt. Huge grin. And to think a few minutes earlier I was huffing and puffing in my 34-25 and my bike probably weighs 20-30 pounds less than his!
Maybe DiabloScott can shed some light on this mysterious masochist…??
