Most of my riding this summer has been on my road bike in the form of commuting. I am still able to average 17-18mph with effort on my 11 mile RT commute. I am 61 years old. Went 40 miles once this summer. I used to ride 100-300 miles a week. I am ashamed of my pathetic amount of current riding.
I rode my ultra low racer a couple of times my trike a few times and my Fixed gear bikes a dozen times. I like the ease of climbing on the uprights and the ease of parking the traditional wedgie.
