How I wish you were Prancer right now simply to hear what his reaction would have been.
I regularly get overtaken by a large gentleman on a hybrid on my commute and have never even thought of reacting. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, I imagine it gives him a good start to the day, not that I particularly look like a good conquest or anything. Perhaps more importantly though, I ride a relatively low gear because I love my knees and I always leave plenty of time to get where I need to be. I find the satisfaction of knowing I've taken it easy to get anywhere rather than busting a gut, suits me just fine.
