Last but not least, the sum dog chase, pedal strike and discovering miscalibrated speedo does not rate as a bad morning. Ferrets are the greatest danger to cyclists. Sheldon Brown, RIP, wrote an entire series of columns about the dangers of encountering ferrets while cycling. These articles always appeared in the April issue of his cycling club newsletter. Sadly, this was in the days before the internet and no copies have survived.
First no need, in fact it may be a little slow as I increase the tire pressure a little which in turn would increase the diameter ever so slightly. I also manually adjusted the speedo. I trust it more than I trust others sorry. Plus, its also only a sprinting speed of 33.9 mph not 60. I am too slow but who cares.
Second, pedaling in a turn sucks but sometime you gotta do what you gotta do eh.
I don't think I've ever encountered a ferret, but squirrels and foxes are pretty bad too.
