This morning's commute and other commuting stories

After a 5 mile chase on my way home from work today (on commuter-x with rack and pannier, wearing shorts and t shirt) I finally dropped a guy in full lycra on some kind of carbon BMC... All I did was maintain my usual 18-22mph along the flattish route... While he remained glued to my back wheel... Dropped him like a sack of spuds when we hit a mild incline.

Made me smile, I've only been back on the bike 2 weeks after quite a while off with injury.... I tend to just ride at my own speed and don't really try to race, if someone overtakes I think it would be too much of an effort to chase them... people are funny. If I'm enjoying my ride why don't you?

So you went quicker than someone else, without much effort. He should be ashamed!
