a kill story like no other
thats because it was a bike kill and i'm not talking about a sport bike.. the story begins like this....
(translated into American) I was riding at ~22mph, when i hear someone come up behind me. I look behind me to see a this girl all in yellow coming up behind me, w00t w00t i think. As she gets closer i see shes a girl i see around work, well shes not a girl shes late 20s. As she pulls up beside me a hear her downshift (for you non bikers before you sprint aka get out of the saddle you shift to a harder gear to get more power) then smoothly she gets out of the saddle and starts to pull on me. I just about shit my pants! Well i'm never one (car, bike or other means) to be shown up racing. So boom i'm up there out of the saddle running through the gears, shes sticking there right beside me. (i'm really suprised by this) we get into the mid 30s mph ( around 48km/h) and i see her trying even hard, so i'm putting the hammer down now. Its all, not gonna let this woman pull away from me, i would never be able to show my face around work again. So I shiftinto my last gear now running 53-11 (53teeth up front and 11teeth in the back, if you know thats a really hard gear). All i hear around me is wind rushing by my ears. She starts to fall away, slowly but shes fallling back. To make sure she doesn't attack again i push it just above 37mph to 39mph and sit back down. I've never hit speeds like that (was on my road bike), your supposed to break em in a bit before you start putting down that much power. According to some stats i put out 1.28 horse power durring that event, max speed durring race was 37mph and we travelled just over 1/2 a mile.(got a cool bike computer that give me these kinda read outs) |

Now I may be totally incorrect on this, but I recall that 120rpm (at the crank) was theoretically the most efficient. |
