The gear she was using is a bit mind boggling. They say " one full revolution of the pedals equals 125 feet". My quick calculations say that this is a 477" gear, equivalent to a 196T chainwheel and an 11T sprocket*. And it's a fixed wheel!
She had to be towed up to speed. Imagine starting off on a 477" fixie!
* These calculations may be total rubbish. I am, after all, an idiot.
