Start of a new week, everyone should be full of pep! You believers in "slow", try going out there and cranking up the speed, see what you think. You believers in "fast", try going out there and cruising slowly, see what you think. Report back!

Please don't try this experiment on a 50 mph limited access or maxi-arterial road w/o bike lane or shoulder - or, to take the other extreme, don't go time trialing at top speed through the nursery school playground . . . as I said, my theory about "fast = safe" only applies to 25-35 mph city streets.
