My daredevil days are over. I used to do the 5 boro bike tour in NYC every year which ended after 43 miles thru the streets of NY on the downslope of the Verrazzano Bridge heading into Staten Island where you could get up to at least that speed — without a helmet and surrounded by other cyclists doing the same crazy thing. If just one lost balance...

Well, no need to continue with that sentence. We sometimes do crazy things when we're young.
