GREAT BIKE!!! Can't tell you how good it felt on bike. Forgetting computer was the best thing that happened to me, I just kept pushing and did not worry about the pain. Kept pushing because I did not know how fast I was going and always thought I was going slow kept saying to myself, faster, faster.
What would you do differently?:
