Awww don't feel bad! Eventually you'll get something that isn't slower than the tricycle you had as a kid!

I can tell it is going to be harder on my bike than it is in the car, though turns still give me the heebie-jeebies . I normally shoot for right around five over. My dad is a police officer, normally I am the one who feels comfortable shirking the law it seems, apparently thats reversed here . Can't wait to get skilled and get some high speeds going, I would say that would be a long time, but yesterday I didn't think I would be ready for 60mph yet, but I sure enjoyed it today . To be fair that was a bit higher than posted, I was following my dad to his buddy's and I think he would never admit it but he was inviting me to have fun .

Tell you what, I could pedal fast when I was called home for dinner!

Have fun and be smart. The best limit to observe is your own!

What have we determined out of this thread, is the question. Are we honest with our answers are are we a bunch of "little white lie people" ?????

Here is another question...how difficult is it for you to obey the speed limit ?

That sounds like a cop question? Let's see, how'd he put that..."Do you have a good reason your doing 83 in my 65?"

Can I obey the speed limit? Absolutely.
Do I enjoy obeying the speed limit? Depends on several factors, including my mood and what kind of a rush I'm in?
Do I usually have a reason for doing 83 in a 65? Point B is waiting, might as well get there when I can, not when the speed limit says I should.

Besides in my town I've timed the lights. I can either do 5 under the speed limit and hit the greens, do the speed limit and hit every red, or do 10 over and hit every green AND get there one full cycle ahead of anyone else.
