Riiiiight... tell that to the 40 year old dude who just matched your weekly mileage tally in his commute to and from work on Monday. Max speed? On a 48x18? Even at 150RPM, the "old guy" topped that 31MPH on his commute this morning, too.
yea the freestyle kid was exactly what i would expect but this is the part where i was seriously like, 'dude, please stop' honest i dont care if this guy is quick or whatever, if he was REALLY a serious cyclist he would know how stupid that sounds. im not claiming to be some authority or whatever on a bike but i can tell you i do +300kms[~10hrs on the bike] a week just commuting, not including my recreational riding. most of that is on a singlespeed drivetrain. it doesnt make me special, not in the least.
