Do we need to slow down (sometimes)?

Now I'm all for going fast - and I spend a disproportionate amount of time trying to go faster - but there's a time and a place for intervals and sprints and it's not on the way to the shops for some milk. 

I think it's safe to say that some of my most enjoyable times on a bike have been just cruising around. And in a hot climate with lots of hills to contend with you don't need any reason to make things sweatier. 

There should be more of this Slow cycling sort of thing going on.

Have fun and get out there and ride your damn bike!
