This is excerpted FYI from the Easyracers forum ... obviously, I loved it. ;-))

[q1]> ... here is a bit of a rant, which I think is why most Easy Racers owners have[/q1]

you
[q1]> now have a fast bike that just about anybody can master and ride in all kinds of conditions. From[/q1]
[q1]> a drag racing point of view I cannot think of a better performer out of the hole than a low bb lwb[/q1]
[q1]> bike (crossing busy streets are an everyday drag race where those first few pedal strokes[/q1]
better
[q1]> count!). Any drag race I've ever lost was to an upright or another lwb low bb bike. The position[/q1]
[q1]> allows for major power to the pedals either out of[/q1]
the
[q1]> hole or climbing. The last race I saw in Battle Mtn had all the low racers finish at the[/q1]
[q1]> back...behind the lwb low bb bikes. Maybe it wasn't their[/q1]
kind
