My friends are shocked I would wear lycra and helmets and clipless pedals and have brakes, but when we ride, for all their talk of being awesome fast, I am always having to slow down or stop and wait for them to catch up...
Brain fart over.
the_don,
I most enjoy distance on any platform. Right now, all I own is fixed. Those who know me say I'm acceptably fast on the flats if no one is in a particular hurry, climb better than my appearance or equipment would suggest and descend like a frightened 5 year old girl holding a puppy.
