This morning (Tuesday) I did this thing where I put the bike(the Cortina) in an easy gear and pedal insanely fast for brief spurts. At one point I was up to 172 rpm. It definitely is a weird sensation. I get up to fairly fast speeds even though it feels like I'm pushing against nothing. My dream is to go over 200 rpm which would be ridiculous ferret on amphetamines fast.

A rare nexus of circumstances led to meeting the Cyclist on Fire on the commute home near the corner of 34th and Radio Rd.

Looking forward to a 3 month school zone reprieve next week.
