    Is that a podium photo?
    Is the orange bike the 1st place bike? It looks fast, there are flames on the seat

    You're really boobstothetube in that shot that's a remarkable speed for those bikes?
    Ha! For me that's a remarkable speed, period.

    YEs, that was the podium picture, I was just the flower girl. I even pretended to kiss the sweaty champ. The second place guy had already gone back to his office. He clearly had no idea that he did as well as he did. I had to chase him down to give him his prize. and third place, standing thereright below the podium. It didn't take people long to figure out that orange bikes are faster than magenta bikes which are faster than yellow bikes. yes that was the fastest bike.
    Our rotating trophy for the record went from our building to the building next door, as the 25 mph speed broke last year's record and dethroned the record holder.
    And yes, we'll definitely do it next year.

    "I rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a bike. It gives her a feeling of self-reliance and independence the moment she takes her seat; and away she goes, the picture of untrammelled womanhood."
