I love my bike... again

After getting knocked off my road bike at the end of April, I was off the road for nearly 8 weeks - not to serious and injury but enough to make cycling uncomfortable.
In the meantime, I got a Langster for my commute to take the place of my hybrid - which then turned into my everything bike - not been on the hybrid since!
Today, for the first time since getting hit by a car, I went out on my road bike and what I couldn't believe was how much the single speed had improved my cycling
Don't get me wrong, I was no Armstrong, but my usual fade on long straights and gradual inclines wasn't evident - I actually felt an improvement in my fitness and cycling technique - am I imagining this change in my ability to pedal? my hybrid never seemed to help my fitness at all
Strange, but I'd been scared to get back on my squadra - thank goodness the pleasure has returned, which is what drove me to buy the bike in the first place
Glad to be back

You may have convinced me to buy the Charge Plug!
