Pace bike? Your forks are backwards.

But I bet you need that to absorb the force when braking, so you don't bend them!

Me? I was on my ten-speed Huffy Mt. Vernon* the other day, pedaling about 230 rpm in the hardest gear up the MUP's last three-mile 48% grade. I'd just smoked my second Mustang of the day. Blew their dang doors off! But then some jerk came by on a kid's tricycle and almost knocked me over when she passed. She was pedaling so fast I couldn't even see her feet! So no, I don't know what kind of shoes she had on. She didn't say, "On your left!" or anything! She just blew past going about 93 miles per hour. If I hadn't already ridden 67 miles up hill barefoot in the snow both ways to school, I would have drafted her until I got close to home.

*My actual crap bicycle lol ...
