So was test riding my newly bought reynolds 531 frame bike, was very impressed with lightness and agility. So, anyway I am quite quick at take off with the bike, but I maintain a steady speed once I've gathered momentum. Problem is, I overtake most people when traffic light turns gree due to my fast take off, and these guys take it so personally.
earlier tonight, left some guys in the dust as I took the roundabout, and as I am riding steadily home I can hear the panting and the desperate chain-bashing sound behind me. Naturally I dont really care and keep my pace, and after a few minutes a guy takes me over and leaves me in the dust. Lol...
He slows down again at the traffic lights, as soon as I pull up next to him, he takes a quick look at me and zooms away leaving me in dust again and vice versa untill I had to turn towards aldgate.
I mean wtf lol, theres nothing personal involved here, some people just need to chill out a bit.
