You know, that didn’t occur to me but you’re all quite right; 90 IS a bit of a low cadence to catch such a fast rider. Between 90 and 100 is what *I* generally pedal at and, while I’m pretty fast compared to “casual” riders, I’m certainly no speed demon when it comes to marathon and professional riders.

Finally, Joe has hit the speed at which his helmet doesn’t look dopey!

No no no, you’re all missing it.

I will be looking into these allegations of doping immediately.

I’m surprised nobody has considered that perhaps he’s simply being blown away by The Grail.

To find the grail one must have faith. does Joe?

From the unfilled entries in the dropdown list, it may take joe a few more days to catch the grail.

Or maybe he should have gone riding in the opposite direction and after a bit of warp, he would have had a head-on collision with the grail.

That is so simple folks, he hit 88MPH. Oh, and Joe is not doping that is obvious, but “The Grail” is, that is why Joe can’t catch him.

I think some of the comments are just as amusing as the comic itself. Warp factor, ludicrous speed, going to plaid! Flux capacitors! Great bunch of readers!

Why such a low cadence (90)?
