    That’s a 20 watt penalty at 40km/hr! I wonder how much of a penalty the trailercycle is…

    If it was only about speed, I would just drive. #reversecommute

    So instead of riding up to 14th st bridge on the MVT, I should just get a pack raft to cross the Potomac/Anacostia from Belle Haven to get up to MoCo?
