Beating People on the commute who have a better bike

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...)

Nah, I caught a posenger going over Manhattan Bridge and kept up with him until we were nearly to my neighborhood. He saw I was behind him (finally) and when he looked again a few minutes later and realized I was pacing him he zoomed off and left me for dead. But it was good while I had it!
