Well after the attempt to get to Waterfall on the weekend, I am now riding faster. But I have still been unable to break the 30 minute barrier on the way home. It takes me longer to get to work becuase it is up-hill. This time I was riding with another two-wheeled rider on the way home. I caught up with him on the way from Redfern to Waterloo, then he over took my by using a lane one block over from the road I use. I have to slow down to go up onto the footpath where the road has been closed off. Event the assistance of the roundabout did not help. I then caught him a the lights over the Kings Road, and then went past him going down towards Marrickville. Past the metro he again took a different, faster route, and as I came out onto Meeks Road I had to give way to him. At Sydenham roads we parted ways. It was very intersting and showed in part the different characteristics of the trike vs a bike.
