It finally happened to me on the way to work.
Waiting at a red light, a cyclist blew past me on his upright just as the light turned green, before I even got my feet on the pedals (I was only 2 miles from work, so I wasn't in a big hurry.) It irked me, because I had no warning and he split between me and the traffic on my left. We could easily have collided when I took off, and it's not the first time it's been done to me by another cyclist.
Next came the long downhill. He was caught at the next light, so I timed the green. As he took off, I tailed him for a little way until I knew he was at his top speed. He was fighting some gusty winds, too.
I revved up and motored.
:D
I don't remember shooting past anyone so quickly in my life! I really like this recumbent thing...
