Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Doubled my average speed
Added a second computer p/u magnet exactly opposite the one supplied with my computer. Instantly doubled my average speed and ride distance and amazingly, my training loop still seems to be the same. Anyone else have any great ideas to improve pace and distance?

That's nothing
I put 2 magnets on each spoke and broke the sound barrier.

Enjoy

Try changing from MPH to KMPH, or change the wheel circumfrence setting on your computer from around 1600 to 10,000!
