    I question why you would have any thoughts on this. Luis fell asleep and you took notes.

    Alright you smartasses! Settle down in here. Do you want a pop quiz? Because that's how you get a pop quiz.
    Now back on the bikes to study the nuances of SoCal singletrack. Reports due daily!

    I LOVE science and the mechanics of things. My mind secretly draws a 3D schematic of everything I see in my world.

    For the re-rail....

    It turns out that bicycles follow the laws of physics. If you pedal faster, stability is improved.

    And if you exceed the stiction coefficent© of your tires, you fall down.

    I bet I could get that thing around the cones. I might cheat by taking it two wheeled. If you've ever goofed around with a grandma trike, you know what I mean.
