Beating People on the commute who have a better bike

OK, I'm not that fat.... more festively plump!

No, believe me, I know the difference between a look of pity and a look of defeat.

See it in my victims eyes all the time...

It forces you out of your comfort zone.

I don't have a comfort zone. Weakling. :)

then you do ...

I was raced yesterday. I say 'raced,' but only one of us was racing and it wasn't me.

Almost home after a 50 mile, very hilly ride and a guy in mountain bike gear (baggy shorts, jersey, spd trainers and helmet) riding a base model Specialized road bike (brand new - C2W?) decides to ride up the inside of me, look at me and then cycle off.

I get to the next set of traffic lights where he's stopped at a red and he's sat there looking all smug over his shoulder waiting for me to arrive and then he says (whilst panting like a dog and sweating like a fat man) 'you might have all the gear but you can't fucking cycle very fast, can you?'

Is this normal behaviour once a hairy leger gets hold of a road bike?

Looks like you were schooled.

You'll know better next time though.

Next time....

I wonder how is tales of derring do went down in the pub last night. I expect he got there just in time for cake and medals.

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.

I never leave with plenty of time. I always leave so that I arrive 5min early or bang on time if the winds a bit shit. Riding slower when I'm going places has never been an attraction to me, I always get bored.

I assume you showed great self restraint, I would have been compelled to rip into the idiot

I just gave a little smile and a shrug and sat quietly in knowing what I know about our respective abilities.

I rode home with my 6 year old today, she won.
She always wins.

lol. that's even better than triathlete man (overbuilt, wringing his bikes neck, piston like low cadence) who got annoyed at my seated uphill overtaking as i was lapping the park on wednesday, he had to get past after i supposedly threw down the gauntlet.
only i had no interest in racing anyone just wanted my 3 steady laps, he did pass me but soon slowed to a crawl breathing through his arse. i wanted to say 'bit early in the season for hard interval training?' but just went about my business with a smile.

why do they do it?

Had someone on a condor geared carbon bike whizz past me on the A4 just now. But he had gassed by the first set of lights. Game Over

Fuck his wife must be disappointed if he rides her like his bike, quick spurt of energy and then thats it, the tanks depleted.

^And Mr P puts his finger on what this thread is really all about.

he touched you there? show me on the doll exactly where he put his finger.

He touched me on my nodder

Everything, in the end, is about sex. There's just no way round it.

It's all just shakin' branches and displaying for the females.

^

Fuck off.

Maybe any showing off for you is about that, For me it is more than that,

It is about crushing my enemies and beating people who have better kit. How dare you turn this into some sexual bullshit ... This is about proving to carbon roadie cunts that you can fly past them with 1970s tech ... because you have the big ring attitude.

This is turning into Bike Radar when it was supposed to be a prayer to "The Jan" ... have some respect.

You're doing it wrong in that case.

(i'm probably/definitely older and wiser than you so you should listen and not argue back and simply accept my post as fact and move on especially if you do think it is about sex cause if you don't listen you will get none sex here from the ladies with posts like that)

Just saying :-]

Fuck off carbon roadie cunt... because you have the big ring attitude.

I love editing posts ;-]

But you're right!

I have been getting the train this week. My old pug has been falling apart .. it must because of my Janess.

The wheel had 4 broken spokes and a knackered stainless steelmudguard (the break bridge attachment needs a replacement .. will end up a bodge at my dad's place with some copper plate).

I owned a guy today on a new red bmc thingy from tower bridge town towards bricklayers arms. it felt good.

did he have gear or not? Very important ... because I will judge you
