My hot new road bike
I've been burning up the tarmac with this beauty. The other guys I ride with? they simply can't keep up with this bike & my mad skills. I even moved the brakes lower so i could get even more aero. I'm like a flash of blue lightning on the road.

Cool ride. If I see you coming I'll just pull off the road so as to save me from the inevitable humbling as you "flash by" like a "blue streak." A fear provoking blue streak at that. 
Though I do think that if you didn't have those "aero forks" I just might be able to hold your wheel.

I'm not sure if that's a card or a sticker in the spokes of your back wheel, but I hear that if you add enough cards to your rear wheel it acts like a rear disc wheel and make it more aerodynamic. However, the reflectors don't help your aerodynamics.

At some big-box discounter, a mad genius minimum wage bike assembler may be onto something...so what kind of speeds can you hit on the descents with the backwards fork and hanging onto those super-aggressive hoods?
