How can we persuade you to step up to the world of high-speed road riding?
What's the next step up for you (long distance, multi-day ride where you will show the world what you've got?

Is there blood in the streets in the town of New Haven?
hey jp! daily commute is 23 mi. r/t shortest route--avg. speed around 15-18 mph (and don't nothin' stop me, i ride in rain and wind and snow).
mostly fixed gear commutin' and in town errands..
i ride my geared whip on longer rides. (did 80 or so west of boston a few days ago)--avg. speed around 20-22 over hill and dale.
next week i'm gonna ride that 5 boro little ride in nyc just so i can ride over the verrazano narrows bridge and drink beer afterwards at the party on staten island.
i really like ridin' kinda fast through traffic in manhattan and cruisin' central park lookin' at bikes and girls.
i just ride for fun, but can go pretty fast when i want to. i'm tryin' to ride 10,000 miles this year. i rode a little over 6000 last year.
i want to perfect my unicycle skills as well.
i may go to thailand to ride this summer.

that's pretty much my cyclin' resume.
