My intervals last only like thirty seconds or so, and my legs burn like they are on fire!
Luckily no thigh or heart explosions yet, but I'm keeping an eyeball out for trouble.
So I was thinking, there's got to be a better way to get more speed on the bicycle.
I mean I could reprogram my computer and make my tires humungasoid but it has GPS too so I don't know if that would work.
I could also put like two magnets on my wheel and be twice as fast, but really, who would believe that.
Off to the internets I went in search of speed.
Well, I found something guaranteed to make me the fastest on the block:
That's righ obnoxious noise fans!
Turbospokes!
If I can't go fast, I can at least sound like I'm going fast!
Someone posted this on Bikeforums and I just couldn't resist.
Here's what's in the box:
All kinds of shiny and noise making goodness!
Just a couple of bolts and a spacer thingy and voila!
Instant simulated speed!
Like I'm rocking on down the road on some 80 cubic inch V-twin or something!
Get the hell outta my way!
Boy, I better be careful about taking early morning rides.
Wouldn't want to wake the neighbors don't you know.
Now I can strike fear into the hearts of women and young children every where I go!
What's that coming down the MUP?
Look out!
I don't need no stinkin' bell!
Loud pipes saves lives.
That's right kid, I'm coming to crush your soul!

Ha! That is awesome! That'll really sound great coming down a big hill. Like having your own Harley, without the fumes.

Big Oak, now I need me some leather chaps.
Perhaps.
Trevor, it will make all your friends jealous!
Maybe.
Excellent for humoring one's self! Fun!
I give the wheels a turn and see if I can make it to the kitchen and back before it stops.
Limom,
That's so cool!
When I was a kid, I may have simulated that kinda sound (perhaps not as loud) with a ballon rubbing against the spokes, if I remember correctly. We used to tie the balloon to the seat stay.
Peace :)
We did the usual card and clothes pin deal, usually front and back for maximum impact.
This thing however, beats it hands down!
Ride report coming soon.
Maybe.
