Dream of third gear, Patrick.
I recall a friend of my father's who was a fit footy coach, went for a run
with some professional runners. He struggled for a while and then thought
he was doing all right to keep up until he heard a strange sound. Took him
a bit to realise the guy next to him in the running pack was whistling!
Did you hear any whistling cyclists?
