You know who you're riding faster than? Every single person sitting in their car on the way to work!

I use Strava every time I ride. People set up "segments" and whenever you ride one of these segments, it shows you how you did in relation to everyone else. When I first started riding I was near or at the bottom of every segment I rode. I felt ridiculously slow. But I decided to take it as a challenge.

Now I often place in the middle of the pack, rather than the bottom. Speed will come. Just get out and ride. The more you ride, the faster you'll get. But either way, you're still faster than the people who are sitting in a car for the ride to work!
