I am too old to race people outright but I have been racing 'in traffic' for twenty five years or so thats what I mean about being wiley rather than being flat out fast today I rode back into Paris after being out in the countryside & I kinda scared myself after I got off the bike because I kinda got too into it I don't really stop and I hardly ever hit the brake and I am moving faster than anyone else on a bike and I keep telling myself this is no way to behave but when I am on the bike and in traffic I am like a man possessed I just get such a buzz off it I can't stop I just have to keep going faster and faster I mean you are like a bicycle racer you are going to be fast in the sprint and over distance and you are going to beat 99.9 but you bottle it just once in the traffic - then I win the race
