That's what I was going for, but it probably went over their heads.
This going faster on a bike thing is one amazing aspect of this sport: I'm allowed to go as fast as I can on about 99% of the roads I ride. I can corner right at the limit, accelerate as fast as I want, and it's all legal. I can do this on a TdF level bike if I want, or a $250 Craigslist special. Great sport.
