What is your best commuting/general biking moment ever?
<p>Last summer on my regular 8mile hilly route to driver's education I was standing up. Pumping my legs as hard as I could, as I (rocketed) up this semi steep hill, just feeling like superman. BTW-its a straight section of road with 5 steep hills, and then at the very beginning theres a monster, or atleast it seems like it when your at the base looking up, but I was going up that hill-at about 13mph, on my mountain bike. Suddenly it evened out, got some gs' as I hit the peak, and I shot towards the base of the next hill, maybe 150yards downhill to the base. I would say that I got about 35-40mph on that, but right when I hit the peak it was amazing. The sun was coming up and it had just suddenly lit up the succession of hills. The wind rushing through me as I sped up, and started passing the cars again. 25mph speed limit, O It was just one of those magical moments as that pretty much everyone in this room shares. The reason we all love bicycles so much. With every hill you go up, you must go down it too. In my opinion the climbing is the best part though. I've learned to love hills. Don't be shy, share your stories.
