Beating People on the commute who have a better bike

The other day I was walking through the tunnel and Finsbury Park tube, and a diminutive woman sporting unweildy heels launched and 'attack' and 'dropped' me. A suit joinied the breakaway and sat in her draft. I didn't have a hope and they both beat me to the Oyster reader, and took the glory of a top deck seat on the W7 bus.

dead set, this is the best form of commuter racing. Fucking love speed pedestrianising in peak hour, finding the gap and racing ahead. Shits me when you come across the formerly unseen tourist dragging a large suitcase, no way round, just no way round man, arrrgh...

Some ladies in stilettos can really haul, dunno how they do it.
