Speedy evening commute through Nishi-Tokyo. Motor pacing is fun (if you have disc brakes) 🚛🚴💨
00:27:10 – motor pacing
This ride was a speedy one. I was feeling pretty good after pushing myself quite a bit this morning along the Arakawa River. My legs felt like diamonds (as they say in Belgium), and pedaling felt effortless. I also had the opportunity to draft behind a lorry and do some “motor pacing.”
I know motor pacing can be risky, but I think it’s manageable as long as you keep your distance and have disc brakes. After all, the risks in the peloton are much higher.
このライドはかなり速かった。朝、荒川沿いを結構頑張って走った後だったので、気分はとても良かった。脚はまるでダイヤモンドのようだった（ベルギーでよく言うように）、そしてペダルを漕ぐのが楽に感じられた。トラックの後ろについてドラフティング、いわゆる「モーターペーシング」をする機会もあった。
モーターペーシングは危険を伴う可能性があることは承知しているが、車間距離を保ち、ディスクブレーキが付いていれば、なんとかなると思っている。結局のところ、集団走行（peloton）の中の方がリスクはずっと高いのだから。
Please let me know what you think about the video.
See you next time.
Stay safe, stay strong, stay healthy.
Get on your bike and be AWESOME !!
