I went out on my Fuego for the first time in quite a while. Compared to the DF ride I took last week I was reminded that it’s far faster, my neck doesn’t seize up, and my legs felt satisfyingly worked out. Being a Sunday there were a few cyclists out, on a set of rolling hills I was amazed how fast I caught up with them and how quickly they shrunk in my mirror. I’ve run it with aerobars for a few years now and whilst they are good for control going at low speed and uphill I am prone to the wobbles at speed in a way that I wasn’t with the hamster bars. I might switch them back because it’s a bit disconcerting. And compared to my trikes, starting off is a non-trivial issue and I had a couple of false starts towards the end of the ride when I was probably a bit tired and hypoglycaemic. I nearly sold the bike last year, I’m so glad I didn’t! Faster and further than on my ancient but sporting DF, and that’s not accounting for the stops on the latter to ease my neck out, or the protracted agony afterwards. Vive la vélo couché!
