I thought there are only slow and fast riders
Jokes apart, I have only one working bike, and it has front and rear fenders, lights, one bag under the seat post and one on the top tube. It weighs 30 pounds.
Maybe I should get myself a faster bike
I wonder how that conversation will go with the wife. "Honey, I need to get myself a fast lightweight bike so that I can enjoy the commute on my other bike"
