Actually, it's a carry over from how we discussed speed BITD. We didn't have instruments (or want to do math in our heads), so speed was stated as the time for a given ride, ie "my time for a Montauk ride" or X minutes for a lap of Central Park.

It's been a long time since those days, but I still think of speed in terms of time.
