Going 34 MPH doesn't seem too astonishing.


You probably couldn't attain that speed, much less maintain a pace that sees you going 34 miles in an hours time on a bicycle.

Head out to Lake Pontchartrain along the trestles if you want to troll. At least you may get some nice trout for your effort.

Probably pretty frickin' numb. But being numb is preferable to the condition of Tony Martin's gooch after he put sandpaper on his addle to prevent sliding during the 2015 UCI World Time Trial Championships.
