Beating People on the commute who have a better bike

Does anyone take the perverse pleasure of burning people that are dressed up in full lycra, when on the crappest looking bike in existence ... this came up today and I was told my my coworker who is a dirty triathelete that it was due part of my "arrogance" ...

I just like the idea that the thing that makes me faster than others is me not the kit ... apparently she sees it another way ...

Discuss.

RPM does this as part of his training. Send him a PM if you want more commuting/racing advice
