Who knows, maybe Mr. TT has knee issues that prevent him from pushing big gears on an uphill, but likes to do time trials anyway? He especially likes very hilly time trials? There has to be a reason why that triple chainring is there, because the shop people have certainly tried to talk him out of it!!

I tend to find good reasons to everything.

I find this a pretty good conversation. It makes me think that I wish my bike club (a women's club) was more Doris-friendly. It's been pushing real hard to develop female racers, which is GREAT, but I think it makes us look inaccessible to a lot of riders. I'll keep meditating about that.
