Haaha! Dude, I was actually contemplating on bringing this up when I saw him for the millionth time on the commute this morning.
So it's a 90's Cannondale road frame right, with one chain ring and a rear derailleur, it's in the biggest gear I've ever seen irl, way bigger than what you'd need for track. The thing is, he tops out around 8mph, I just don't understand what's going on.
As I passed him today I was genuinely tempted to ask if he was training for the hour record or something, maybe getting permanently used to being on TT bars in mad aero and pushing a gear that makes my knees hurt just seeing it. I bottled it anyway, maybe next time I'll ask.
