Yeah, I've heard that one before . I did some research into family history, and discovered that the name is from a profession: "wheelwright" (someone who made wheels).
I ride a Trek 1220 that I've had for about 3 yrs. It's an 'upright' (the opposite of recumbent, I guess). It's a pretty decent road bike.
60 km/h? That's about 37mph (sorry for the Americanism there). I'm impressed. My best sprint on the flat is probably 28-30 mph; I tend to cruise at 15-16 mph.

Yes, the opposite of a recumebtn is Upright. Or Wedgie, if you want to tease them
My normal cruising speed is 27 to 30 km/h. I have no conversion table here (currently I'm at work).

I can't believe it.
No generalization is 100% true.
Not even this one.

I had it on the board but ran out of space. I figured enough Canadians would type Hockey in the 'Other' box that your voice would be heard

Well it seems that computer geeks don´t like to play basket...
Here in Málaga, you can play a lot of sports no problem with the weather ( well if you want to ski you have to go to granada that is 150 Kilometers far from Málaga)...

You can do your excercising any time of the day. For half the year weather is my main reason for not getting out there. It's either to cold in the morning or dark when I get home.
