I have been averaging 17-18 mph since the change. This morning was a beautiful sunny breezy commute. I took it very easy and still managed 17.3 mph. I have decided I am going to jump in a bike race before the year is over. Any suggestions from any Chicagolanders?
If the slicks have a smaller circumference, then yes, they'll mess up the odometer as well as the speed. It will read high. Probably not by much though.

Are more people admitting to this now, or has there just been a dramatic upswing in clothing-forgetfulness lately?
It's getting warm and pleasant around these parts. Almost wish it would rain on me sometimes. I should be careful what I wish for. Thunderstorms are predicted this afternoon.
