Had the fastest commute of my life today. Picked up a new bike the other day which happened to be a fixed gear with hood style brakes mounted on road bars. The brakes are really only accessible when you're in the drops, and even though it's not a full track bike riding in the drops puts you in a pretty aero position. Now, I don't like having my hands off the brakes in traffic, and I didn't want to be *that guy* riding in a full aero tuck at slow speeds, so I ended up riding fast enough to justify riding in the drops the entire way to work just so I could have my hands on my brakes

My 16 minute commute got done in 13 minutes though, haha
