I was riding to work the other day, when 2 DF riders pulled up beside me asking for directions. The Sherlock in me deduced they were North American visitors (Toronto actually), so I told them to follow me as they were too late to meet the group they were trying to meet with. Not rushing to work that morning, I took a scenic 35km route ending up at the coffee shop near my office where we refueled. We were having such a great time, and the weather was so good, that I took the day off at the last minute and we went riding.
Michael and Wayne loved it so much, as they had been to Singapore many times but this was the first long ride they did and they got out of the central city. Michael made this superb video on Vimeo that crams 100km into 100 seconds! You get to see Silvio mixing it up with 2 DF's. They had rented these for the day and slapped on their own pedals and accessories. Video was shot on a GoPro in a waterproof casing hanging from a beautiful K-Edge mount.

They weren't 'bent knowledgeable riders, but they really liked the look of Silvio, especially that it had 700c wheels and looked roadie (especially with my newly fitted road handlebars). "Must be really comfortable" they said. When I asked whether they could get any draft off me the answer was, "Not much, I could feel the wind coming up over you and hitting my chest." Similarly, I am too low to get much of a draft of them...a little but not much as I am their legs and hip height. Really fun...first time I took off work for a long ride like that ever! Any sunburn was worth it!
