When it comes to reviewing bicycles, you'll hear a lot of "laterally stiff" this, and "vertically compliant that," but not a lot of HARD SCIENCE--which is why I, in the name of the very hardest of sciences, went for another ride today.

Sadly, I don't have any photos from that ride as my phone died, so here is a picture of my cat:

So what made this ride scientific?  Well, I undertook almost exactly the same route as I did on Tuesday, when I used the Drysdale:

Only this time I used the Renovo:

I said my phone was dead, remember?

Okay, fine, here's a picture of the Renovo taken on a different occasion in my lavish photo studio:

Anyway, this is where the SCIENCE comes in.  See, in comparing the two rides via a certain social networking app for Freds and Fredericas we can see that astride the Drysdale I set a PERSONAL RECORD on this formidable 141ft snow-capped mountain:

Whereas today, at the helm of my wooden Fred chariot and upon the very same lofty summit, I made it up in...the exact same time:

Therefore, given all this scientific data, we can objectively and decisively conclude the following:

Riding bikes all day while everyone else is working is awesome.

Who knew?
