Beating People on the commute who have a better bike

build the Certini I sold you lucas then you can do some proper riding rather than getting pissed and starting threads like this.

Who are you my mum?

Its quite funny when I head out (albeit rarely) on my commute on a nice racer and lycrad up. It does seem to make people want to race you sometimes. I find it funny because on days like today, I'm deliberately pootling with my legs spinning but not travelling quickly as I like to do that the day before a long ride. It seems to loosen me up and get any heaviness out of my legs from the previous days of quicker fixed commuting. I'm riding a 110mi route to Woodbridge tomorrow to see my parents for lunch.

Just because I'm on a decent racer doesn't mean I'm out to race.

Doesn't seem to matter whether the person is on a beater, hybrid or a full carbon super bike. Sometimes people just like to show off. I couldn't give a toss personally how quickly other people ride when I'm out..I'm there for me and nobody else.

One slightly out of shape chap today made me laugh. He was on a full carbon TT bike (didn't spot make) and as he came up behind me he went into full sprint, looking me in the eye as he passed. I didn't take the bait. I let him pass, kept my pace until he tired (not long) and then stayed on his back wheel until I got near home and gently eased past him whilst he was still open mouthed and breathing heavily being sure to give him a nice non sweaty closed mouth smile on the way past. Could have sworn the bike was way too big for him too.

Shit...that makes me as bad as him doesn't it!

Who are you my mum?

no your dad.

I'm a puny-looking girl who rides a tiny mismatching, rag-doll single speed, often wearing entirely inappropriate clothes (short skirts, ripped tights and denim jackets) and I love the look of surprise when I fly past lycra-clad dudes, hipsters and couriers alike. Is this a crime?

News flash. It's not a race if the other person isn't racing.

Woodbridge before lunch? respect.
Other half's folks recently moved out there, seems like a nice part of the world.
What's your route? Looks like a fairly straightforward one from Cambridge, which I was considering...

If you scream, "BOOOOOOM, HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES, HUH?" as you pass them, then yes*.

*Actuallly still a crime if you only do this in your head

Oh. Then I am entirely guilty.

perhaps only against fashion?

i don't know today someone on a VERY NICE full carbon bike and full matched kit shooshed past with a rapha back pack on, I decided to try and catch him (since i had my rapha back pack on too) but was in skinny jeans and a double denim..lol. I only got close after about 1 mile..caught him at 1.25, but then he must have been chilling because he left me like yesterday's paper nearly immediately. It was great getting close. it gave me some thing to try for. I liked it (but i may be a sado...)

I haven't really been reading the thread. Or do you mean the forum?

I ride between Mile End and Holborn most of the time, via Old Street, predictably.
