I take great pleasure in never being overtaken on the daily commute by other cyclists. I seem to be the only fixie on my route and get a lot of satisfaction out of passing geared riders of all types on the hills on the way to work.
I don't care if they are on a recovery ride, I am always recovering from my weekend epic. I still don't get passed even when my legs are like lead. It's a good feeling to always push myself to my limit, and using another rider as a "goal" something to pass keeps me motivated to work harder on every ride. I don't gloat, a simple nod is all you'll get from me. these are only my daily personal challenges to myself.
