I test rode an Albatross Sam on the bike path near Rivendell. Was pushing it to see if it could replace my Bianchi road bike as my only go fast-ish bike (It has). Near the end of the test ride I could tell someone was following. I tried to wave him on since I was pulling over to return to Rivendell HQ. Instead of passing, he stopped. He was trying to catch up with me to see what I was riding. Couldn't believe I was going that fast on such and "old" bike.
