My wife and I used to ride a lot together. She's just getting back into it again after the birth of wee Paddy, so hopefully it'll pick up again soon. We loaded the boys up in the trailer the other weekend in fact. I was riding in front setting the pace at about 25km/h. I asked if this was fast enough for her, thinking it would be about right. 'You can go a bit faster' she says. So I go a bit faster. 'Faster' she says. And so it goes until I'm pulling 32km/h with 40-50 kilos of boy and trailer on the back.
'It feels like I'm drafting behind a bus' she calls out with glee. 'It feels like I'm pulling one' I reply.
Great fun.
