I put new tires on my bike, and I don't know if it's coincidence, but I'm seeing much higher speeds. I've been averaging less than 12 mph on my commute, and today, it was 13.8. They are Vittoria Voyager Hypers, which are said to be fast tires, but I got them in the 37mm rated size. They are huge.
Other possible explanations: I'm riding more vigorously and might be getting stronger. The wind was more favorable than usual.
Anyway, I'm at my desk feeling fresh, not as if I've done something terribly challenging.
