      I'd like to think of myself as being in pretty good cardio shape, having been a 7 yr athlete, and I agree. Although tri bikes are pretty heavy :D.

          You can make it so you don't see anyone signatures?... And *gasp* titties are an actual responsibility. Maybe you will understand someday. Im 19 btw. 3 years, ehh not so bad.
          That's a shitty retort and you know it. Also, if you're 19 and people think you're 16 based on the way you communicate on the internet, perhaps there's a discourse quality issue somewhere.

              Well, obviously you were kidding and know I am not 16. Plus, who cares how people perceive me on the internet?

              The last thing I see whenever you post is "cars beep boop". If I took that seriously I would think you're about 16-21. Or a really cool middle aged guy with an m30 e30. Idk

                clearly you know nothing about biking then. the drafting record for drafting is 167mph Flat surface, motor-paced. drafting at 50mph is really really easy. you almost dont need to pedal, i know, i used to draft when commuting down Monterrey rd.

                and a triathlon cycling distance 24.8 miles usually done at 19-22mph, endurance not a sprint. clearly not a 1/3 of a mile. i did this in less than a mile no need to save energy.

                  I've coasted down a hill at 45mph without pedaling and i'm a big guy, 25-30mph is fucking effortless on flat ground
