Passed 2 other cyclists this morning on my way to work... I think this may be a first! One older guy on a hybrid, with a hi-viz vest, and a young guy on a MTB (shirtless, at that) who was weaving around the lanes.
I was hauling full panniers with 3 days of food and a 17" laptop... back end of the LHT had to have weighed more than 50 pounds. Good news is the newly rebuilt (by me) rear wheel held up just fine once the spokes settled in to some actual weight.
I love riding my bike.
