ooh, thank you ever so for correcting me! after all this time, at least 250,000 miles(*)
touring on platforms with clips & straps (**)....and i've been doing it wrong!
or perhaps i only dreamt i crossed americaland, circled australia, criss-crossed
europe, and cycled through most of southeast asia?
oh, wrong, wrong, WRONG!
i hereby renounce cycling, and will purchase a toy BMX. and then i shall
limit myself to posing at the skater park with the skater boys and the
fixie riders.
the shame, the shame............
(*) prolly closer to 500k, but i like to round down.
(**) 3/4 of miles done on 7-speed megarange freewheel.
