There's a nice steep down ramp into a shopping area I frequent, that has some pretty definite speed humps. Cars get kicked hard if they go more than 25kph over them, bikes, don't seem to notice them. I love it when some dink comes in off the main road behind me, then decides he doesn't want "to be behind that slow bike " all the way to the bottom. If the timing is right, I can pick up a nice bit of speed, just enough that the car tries to pass, then gets hammered by the hump as I swoop over it.

Oh, I'm a bad person sometimes.
