Been building up a lot of increased strength in the good leg while doing my best to keep the left as strong as possible... picked my daughter up from school today on the extra bike.

The bike weighs 50 pounds, she weighs 45, and I had all her gear and a little of mine and we averaged 18 kmh in pre-rush hour traffic with a little headwind... I can feel this in my right leg as it does most of the hard work.

Rode the extra cycle through the winter as well so what I missed in distance was made up for in the loads I was moving.

Now that it is nice and I can take out the road bike and summer rides my speed has been really good on the flats and have been able to pace cars on short stretches where I can get up a good spin, hills can kill me, and headwinds are never any fun.
