She gets my respect for have more balls than me but that’s just mental. I think my bike would shake apart at much slower speeds. No margin for error at that speed; a pot hole, a blow out, a car that makes an unexpected move…

Pay the ticket and don’t do it again.

No matter how safely you drive, sometimes you just need to speed to get somewhere fast, whether you’ve got a real emergency or you’re just running late. Or maybe you didn’t notice that the speed limit was a little lower than in most neighborhoods and you got busted.
Imagine how much more relaxed you’ll feel if you aren’t always checking your rear-view mirror for the police officers?
No lawyers, no clinics, no services that end up being just pricey as your ticket. How is this possible?

68???

I get freaked out when I hit 30-35!

I find it hard enough to manage my bike at THOSE speeds and can’t imagine going much faster.

There is a winding mountain road in the San Gabriels above Azusa/Glendora, Ca., that a cyclist can go the full 6 miles down hill without pedalling once you get up to speed.

Managing my brakes I managed an average speed in the mid 30s and once I hit bottom didn’t pedal for another mile. ;-D
