I've had a sneaking suspicion my bike times have been slower ever since I had a flat tire last year and replaced the flat 1.25 width tire with a slightly larger 1.5 city slicker.
This weekend I bought some 1.1/8 Gator Skins at Bushtukah and tried them out on my work commute for the first time.
Holy cow! What a difference. I posted my best time ever heading to work with a time of 28:35 and averaged 29.39 kph. I'm pretty sure I can hit 30 kph and get under 27 minutes on the ride home if the stoplights and wind don't slow me down . . . |

Hazel and I went shopping for a new life jacket today and as usual she wanted to try the bikes. usually, I have to help her and she gets frustrated as she hasn't figured out that pushing backwards on a pedal causes braking. This time she chose a pale blue bike with training wheels and was doing figure eights in the store on her own . . . |
