  • Sunday ride. I overtook some guy on a roadbike and in club kit, saying 'hello' as usual. He replies 'hi'. He then re-takes me on a short hill obvs pushing a bit, so I push on and close the gap and then go past again on a long drag, to which he looks angrily at me shouting 'stay behind!'.

    I say 'pardon' but there now being a bit of a gap I dont hear him say anything else. I look behind to see him make an effort and get on my wheel (actually half-wheeling me for some reason), so I start the usual pot-hole pointing while discreetly puting out as many watts(shitloads) as possible up the drag. Didnt see him again.

    So now you know, dont dare re-overtake someone unless you want an ear-full.

    This sucks. People like this ruin cycling for me.

    I came out of a side road a few hundred meters behind a guy on a road bike on sunday. Decided that his fluoro rain jacket, and hairy legs meant I was faster than him. Attacked him constantly for a couple km's, while, of course, trying to look like I was taking it easy. Never even made his bloody wheel. Then when he turned off to the right. I caught a glimpse of his face and saw that he was fecked. I gave a massive exhale to let him know I'd been pushing it too. Exchanged waves and rode on.

    This is how these little encounters should go.
