Bike trip measurements

I cleared out the settings on my bike computer for the first time in a year or more. Started the counters at Hallie’s school as I left for work.

I ride almost exactly two miles to work and do so in under 12 minutes (and this was sloppy timekeeping, too). Thus I average roughly 10 MPH, though I do tend to ride at 14-17 MPH between stop signs and traffic lights, and of those there are many.

It will be interesting to see what speeds I reach on the way home, which is mostly downhill.
