A friend and I often ride our bikes around campus just for fun. He has some geared bike and whenever I blast by him he always tells me to slow down and wait up. Bombing hills, passing cars, other cyclists, doing tricks, it all feels like the equivalent of driving a race car in the city. The best part is having a sort of direct connection with the road. You can feel the tire pushing against the ground and it's so satisfying. Any similar experiences?
