Looks like you are peddaling with running shoes.  Get with the program and get cleats.

And I think it's highly irresponsible that you're riding without a helmet.

gogg's, clearly this bike is too big for you. You're going to need something like a 36cm or so.

Black and blue have no business being in the same outfit together.

The stripes make you look fat.  Maybe you should ride your bike more.

I think your ear warmer is on backwards.

And next time, wear the shorties so we can see your knee angle.

#1 - I don't know why you want us to look at the top picture.  This is obviously a tri-bike, so the only fit that matters is in aero, and the fit looks 'spot on' in aero.

#2 - The largest problem is that your tires are not touching the ground.  I'm not a physicist, but I think that having your wheel an inch or two off the ground will effect your speed.

#3 - A secondary issue not related to the fit is that wind tunnel tests have shown that pursing your lips will cause wind vortexes in your lungs and could cause you to pop several aveoli.

Best of luck with your sweet new ride!

I think you should look into clipless pedals. They really help with pedaling efficiency.

It's not a Cervelo, and your concrete needs a good cleaning.

What does pursing my lips have to do with my areolas? areolae? areolis?
