I failed the entrance exam today.
I haven't been on a bike for 6 weeks because of shoulder surgery, but I couldn't stand it any more. Yesterday I decided to try a safe easy ride. I rode my pedal bike to the grocery store, a round trip of 3 miles. It felt good, but I disgusted when I realized that I was climbing a hill at an appalling 7 mph.
Today I decided to try my motorized bike on a 14 mile errand, but I was determined to go slow (low 20's) just to be careful. I couldn't do it! I took it easy for the first couple of miles, but then I just couldn't stop from going full throttle, about 30 mph.
I feel very comfortable and in complete control at 30 mph. At 25 mph, the bike just feels agonizingly slow.
