I see it says part of the risk of cycling is the slow speed increasing the amount of time on a dangerous rode. Finally some scientific fact stating riding faster will keep you alive. Puttering along equals certain death, so lets get the groove on and start aiming for 20 mph+ average speed rides.

Sort of a side note here, but I've always kept my tetanus shots up to date for obvious reasons.
You don't hear very often much about tetanus but my great-grandfather died from tetanus after being kicked in the cheek by a horse.

The weatherman said it would be warm with high cloud and NW winds. They lied. It is cool (12° Proper) and it is raining with SW winds. If this keeps up I will get wet on the ride home.

I'm installing a new Ultegra 6800 crank soon, going from a 53/36 to a 50/34 which means that I have to lower my front derailleur and worry about that backer plate do-hickey and using that weird gauge gizmo.

Is that the hand the cat scratched?
Sorry, T, you did ask for that one.
