Or better still, ride fixed. You can't even go fast downhill.

I went down this descent at 80 kph (50 mph) on my geared bike but to my shock I was overtaken by a heavier rider on fixed. His cranks were doing an estimated 240 rpm***!

*** He had his feet off the pedals at the time!!!

PS I think it was a scary thing to do, and I would never do it but he obviously knew what he was doing...

20. Follow any advice in Road CC.

Depends on your gearing and how fast you can turn your legs over, assuming you want to stay in contact with the pedals. I can't take my usual route from the house without braking as there's about 3/4 mile of downhill with a couple of steep sections.

I think he's taking the P

Not at all. It’s a way of having a nice comfortable seat whilst riding. I ride a recumbent 90% of the time.

21. Spend every day reading how to go faster articles on the Internet but actually forgetting the basics of riding your bike regularly.

22. Waste good tarmac time on a turbo.

I'm on a 42 x 17, 65 inch gear, comfortable up to around 30mph, and spin out around 35mph.
