_____ while riding is hard

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

This depends on the duration you try to hold that average for.

Actually, I just realized that it's not particularly hard, just really unsanitary.



But it's a one way ticket to being gatekeeper.
