I let the roads dry & then took the Halfbike out for 6.6 miles in 40 minutes. I spent some time in 3rd gear, learning to accommodate myself to the increased torque & swaying of the back-end. 3rd is definitely a 15 mph gear so I’m putting Arachne’s top potential speed in the mid-20s — much faster than I feel safe on her just now. I got in some good Figure-8s and ended with a 3/4ths climb up my hill.
