No better day than Australia Day to take it out for its inaugural run and that is precisely what we did. I am happy to report (despite the fact that the gears are on the opposite sides of the handlebars compared to my old bike) it perfomed flawlessly. Whereas 25 to 28 kmh was a typical cruising speed the new bike runs at 32 or so with much the same amount of effort.
I have my sights set on the Sydney - Wollongong ride later this year! I like retirement - time to train.
Welcome giant! I'm sure your Titan is not so-called because of its magnitude, hugeness, enormiousness, immenseness vastitude or heftiness. May you have gigantic fun with it and discover monster hills 'tween Sydney and the 'gong roll beneath your wheels as the head of Goliath rolled.Good for you! I'm green with envy!
ReplyDeleteSo if Mum had trouble keeping up before, what's happening with the new speedster?

Just what I was thinking, Jen! Dad'll be zooming even further magnificently ahead on his shiny machine.
ReplyDeleteI told her she should get one as well - no interest... I can only conclude she is content with her somewhat pedestrian pace.
