Took it out for a quick spin over the past couple of days and it's amazing how people want to stop and talk . One fella was from Australia whose wife was part of the Australian Olympic cycling team and the second chap who was 79 is still involved in TT and used to race against Merckx in Crits in Europe. He said that he could keep up with Merckx until the last few laps and then Merckx would turn on the power and then be almost lapping other's in the race.
I like how cyclist's will stop and chat and you can this great insight into the history of cycling, just because you have a bike.
