Hello. Today I was riding home and this lady in a nice racing bike well fit zoom pass me. She was just spinning like a mad woman. I'm guessing had bike had at least a 56T chainring but not sure what # cog she was using on the rear. I was going fast already like 30 mph and she was going like at least close to 40mph and was just spinning the cranks.
I was on single speed 48/14 and was going like 30 mph on flat pavement with a slight downhill slope. There's no way you were spinning that up to 30mph. |

Who's Brandy?
(As recorded by Looking Glass) ELLIOT LURIE There's a port on a western bay And it serves a hundred ships a day Lonely sailors pass the time away And talk about their homes And there's a girl, in this harbor town And she works, laying whiskey down They say "Brandy, fetch another round" She serves them whiskey and wine The sailors say "Brandy, you're a fine girl What a good wife you would be Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor From the sea." Brandy, wears a braided chain Made of finest silver from the north of Spain A locket, that bears the name Of a man that Brandy loved He came, on a summer's day Bringing gifts, from far away But he made it clear, he couldn't stay No harbor was his home The sailors said "Brandy, you're a fine girl What a good wife you would be But my life, my lover, my lady Is the sea." Yeah Brandy used to watch his eyes when he told his sailor's story She could feel the ocean fall and rise, she saw it's raging glory But he had always told the truth, Lord he was an honest man And Brandy does her best to understand At night, when the bars close down Brandy walks through a silent town And loves a man, who's not around She still can hear him say, she hears him say "Brandy, you're a fine girl What a good wife you would be But my life, my lover, my lady Is the sea" "Brandy, you're a fine girl What a good wife you would be But my life, my lover, my lady Is the sea" |

She finally looked back once when she passed me and probably saw that I was close to her then she changed direction and rode up the avenues instead of riding up the streets #. I was always 2 street behind her and I tried my best to keep up with her but couldn't. If I haven't rode like 30 miles earlier I might have been able to pass her. I was tire and was riding home still at a very fast speed. Could she be using a very high gear ratio and had strong leg to be able to spin really fast?? Or could it be everything lighter bike and very thin tire, and just stronger rider?? I was on single speed 48/14 and was going like 30 mph on flat pavement with a slight downhill slope. What do you guys think? |

I miss Brandy. I wonder how she would look in bike shorts? |
that will be 120 cadence for me to and i did it. my bike calculator told me i did.
|
yes. he was wearing all biking gear too but with no number. many people that ride here don't usually wear a number just some cool bike clothing s.
|
This thread reminds me that I need to spend more time riding at 30mph. >.>
|
Sometimes I like to pin on a number and go hit the MUP to dominate some Strava segments.
|
anyone from nyc riding Strada bikes?? it's been really popular now they open for 1 year and i see a lot of those bikes. single speed or fixed i will blow them away. :thumb:

If you saw a woman riding a 56t at 40 mph and it was flat ground I hope she is a pro. If not then have her get in contact with me, I would love to "sponsor" her.
Long story short, you had your ass handed to you by a female.

@Simon:
Do yourself a favor, & lose the cruiser! If you get a road bike, you'll be able to ride @ 50-60MPH @ a cadence of 150-170, & you can lap that lady @least 3-5 time next time you see her! Not only will we see you in next years Tour De France, you may be wearing the yellow jersey in the end. I say we have our 1st "triple crown winner" here in the 41!!! Hey Simon! Where were you when the London Olympics were running? Bring the 41 back a gold in Rio! Your 1st fan in the 41!!! |
No one has ask what she looked like,but only beautiful women can ride 40MPH.I am in love
|
or maybe she was on roids like lance armstrong. :thumb:
|

|
