Best pandemic project ever!

I saw Mikael Jansson riding around Ring road on this old folding bike, while I was figuring out segments for the youth team. I figured he was just commuting on one of his collection. Then he went by again, and the effort was evident. Then again, yelling “only two laps to go!”.

Turns out, Mikael has decided to do a 5 lap tt on each of his multitudinous collection, to see which one is faster, and by how much. (You can retire the professor but not the scientific curiosity).

This one is a (60’s?) Bridgestone folder. With 2” of lateral ‘compliance’.

You rock Mikael.

You're always such an inspiration, Mikael! I hope someone captures video of the trike. The folding bike is something else; but I can't get this image out of my head:

Haha! That's awesome. I hope Mikael shares the results with us (starved for non-virus information as we are)!

I could drop by and do a few laps with my unicycle... (not as pictured)
