One time when Dean and I were out doing mobile bike repairs, this guy came up to us and started talking. We were working at a Park n Ride and at this particular facility were some bathrooms that the various bus drivers were allowed to use, and so we would see the same folks stopping by on their rounds as bus drivers for public transportation. As I said, one day a driver came up to us and started talking. He was asking us what the top speed of a bicycle was. ???

Uhhh, it depends on the rider.

You think like 180mph, then?

!!! Hell no…a human could power a bicycle up to MAYBE 40 without drafting a car. (What the hell is this guy on?)

Ohhh, so like if bionics were involved, then maybe you could get up to like 90 or something. And maybe if you were trionic, you could to 180.

TRIonics? As in, if bionic had BI as its root, instead of BIO, then since bionic meant double what a human could normally do, then TRIonic must mean 3 times that, right? Right? Riiiiight….

What bus number are you driving? Remind me never to take that bus.
