LOL!

We have a few hills along my riding path with long run outs. I was spinning out at 56/12 but I can't hold 110 RPM for long in any gear. I hit 55 MPH @ 123 RPMs briefly, my new top speed. Not bad for upright handle bars and MTB tires. I would have needed 144 RPMs in my older setup.

It's fun speeding past cars and seeing kids press their faces to the windows when they catch up to me at the next traffic light. Also seeing the moms shaking their heads in disapproval is funny too.
