The Legend of @jeffg985

You've probably never heard of @jeffg985. But he once made the trip from Lake Nokomis to Lake Harriet on a Nice Ride bike in 26 minutes(!)--becoming a living legend in the process. Spandex-clad witnesses on fancy 3 lb bicycles claim to have never seen him; but he was there, if only a bright green blur. And he has a screenshot to prove it.

@NiceRiders while I prefer slow casual rides, the threat of a $1.50 surcharge is a surprisingly powerful incentive. pic.twitter.com/LFbmsN6lcn
