But I am pretty slow and was getting fed up that I seemed to work hard without getting a good speed!! </p> <p>So I was amazed that I did indeed raise my speed by 5km/h with that extra inch. So thank-you, stranger. It doesn't normally seem the "done thing" to talk to other cyclists but in this case I'm glad you did! </p>
