Ride a bike.

A Swedish word meaning speed play, it is a training technique based on unstructured changes in pace and intensity that can be used instead of timed or measured intervals.

Example: Driven to ride a fartlek that would bury even Floyd Landis? (Or just want to ride to work?) Century Cycles has a bicycle to fit your needs.
