Try racing someone, you may like it. Can be fun as long as both people aren't being dicks and know how far to push it.
Had an ace encounter today ... some geezer on a Specialized Tarmac vs my 1970s pug.
I grunted up the hill before my house carefully matching his pace ... and then overtaking at the roundabout before having a fuck off race down hill taking up both lanes ... we were both grinning like idiots.
Good fun was had by all ... however due to my Jan Ullrich like leg strength I need to get a new set of pedals.
The best race was in Soton ... I was in Tesco Uniform on my Specialized Allez sport 2004 and there was some really skinny guy on a Pinarello in full on lycra ... we both cycled like twats for about 4 miles until I had to turn off to go to work ... good fun.
