...there was a recumbent trike with an electric assist out on the MUP on Monday. He had it dialed to warp 6. That was a fast bike, except it was a trike.

Fleche last weekend. One member of my team rides a trike. That thing has a windscreen at the front, suspension on three wheels and goes down a hill at warp 10. Climbing however its a slug. Still downhill its unbeatable. I'll dial it up to 60 or so but on two wheels wearing lycra I won't go faster, even if the bike wants to.
