Do I Want a Fast Bike?
I have been thinking of getting a better bike. A faster bike. I am not sure why. I do not ride with a group. Why do I want to ride faster. I suppose riding faster allows me to ride further. But my principle objective is to become fitter. That requires effort over time. I can ride a slow heavy bike a short distance and get a similar exercise benefit as riding a light fast bike a long distance.
And riding slower is probably safer.
I got my hybrid up to 30 mph the other day. That is boarding on fast enough to wear my motorcycle helmet.
I am probably going to get a light new fast bike because I want one and they are cool. But I am not sure I really need one.
Maybe I will find a group to ride with and I will need a light fast bike to keep up.
