I recently ran in a triathlon, and if your familiar with triathlon, you'll know that the event consists of three parts. First it starts with a swim, then you transition from the swim to the biking, and finally from the biking to the running. If your racing to win speed is everything, you want to perfect your swim to top speed, bike long distances quickly, and train to get your run down fast. When biking you want your bike to be very aerodynamic which means, sleek water bottles, skin tight bike suit, and no bike accessories that are unnecessary that will slow you down, like the kickstand. Without a kickstand the bikes don't stand up on their own, thus I get to build a bike stand.
