Could a 2007 Giant road bike beat a 2010 Subaru Impreza in a race from the Third Ward to Benno’s bar in West Allis? Should be an easy win for the sedan, right? But with the Interstate 94 (broken-) zipper merge often turning that stretch of blacktop into a parking lot, this might be more of a contest than you’d think. We figured we’d find out just what would be quicker once the rubber hits the road.

Senior Editor Howie Magner, he of the motorcar persuasion, and Managing Editor Tim McCormick placed a gentleman’s wager (one cold one at said watering hole) to see which machine is master. Boogity, Boogity, Boogity! Let’s go racing boys!
