As hard as I was pedaling, that couple was still pulling away from me at a pretty fast rate and they weren't even pedaling hard, after about 30 seconds I give up because they are already over 150 yards in front of me. It seems like the only people who don't pass me are kids on cruisers and seniors and I am in pretty good shape too.

Folding bikes are great bus as slow as hell.
