"I got it, I got it."
Daisuke chuckled a little to himself at the insistent tugs, thinking a moment as he turned his attention to the road. He'd been a little out of it when they came through yesterday, obviously, but he was pretty sure he knew where he was going. Just had to plot the route a bit. A moment later he pushed off hard, putting some extra effort into overcoming the combined mass of two riders, and got moving. One rotation, two rotation, three rotations and they weren't moving fast. Just inching along. Four and five they picked up speed, six and seven they started to cruise.
Getting going was the hard part, keeping up the pace was easy.
"Holler if ya need me to slow down, keep close." He called over his shoulder at Hitomi, pumping the pedals to come up to a decent cruising speed. Not as fast as it took to get to work on time, maybe, but they didn't need to go that fast. Hitomi could barely reach her pedals for Christ's sake. "And you hang on tight."
He took a hand off the handlebars long enough to rap a knuckle against Kimiko's headset.
"Lemme know if I miss a turn."
