Epic fail

Who is he? Why do I care that he doesn't know what "German" is? (I'm pretty sure "German" is a myth. Those douches speak English when no one else is around. Oliver told me once.).

Don't get it

Look at the picture of "South Africa"

South Africa and shows a picture of south america...

beat me to it!

Don't make it easy!

Hipster bike racers vs headcam commuter bloke:

YouTube- Racing on Vauxhall Bridge

I like how he relaxes and sits up at the end. I wanted to see a fist punch the air in celebration of his win.

I bet that knob owns a Trek and dresses up like Lance on Sundays.

getting passed by someone on a road bike while riding around London on a fixed is a fail?

The taste of victory doesn't last long anyway.

approximately until the next traffic lights

I do that everytime on waterloo bridge.

As with the guy in he vid, the only person racing is me.

I spied a derailleur on the colourful bike.

Not a massive "fail" just made me smile.

Everyone races, it's just a case of not showing it. Cruising past someone on the drops going balls out is a great way to crush the spirits of the fair weather commuter

My favourite is when a roadie tries to draft you.
Ease up a little and they think they get complacent, they'd rather sit in your draft than actually make an effort to go faster than you.
Then when you get to a hill, give it some big ring attitude and take them to the pain cave as they try and hang onto your wheel.
Works everytime!

^ Love doing that, I've NEVER been beaten doing that up Brixton Hill

But what I have found, since I've got my 'geary' I've taken great pleasure in overtaking and caning it past 'fixie skidders'

I do it the other way round. Draft them to the bottom of the hill. Sit behind them and wait for the gear change. When you hear that click just pull out and go past them.

wouldn't know...

This really is the quote of the year for me.

Just remember to clench when steping out of the saddle, and mashing the pedals.

Involuntary farting kills the heroism of the move for me.

Being faster than someone else who is riding their bike is the best. I like it when I catch up to someone, and then, when they don't expect it, I go around them and pedal really hard. I don't even look back. There's no point. They're probably already way behind me because of my speed on my bike.

I like to pass people with one hand while adjusting my shorts or my helmet straps.
