He was in his drops, probably 80-90RPM cadence. Low 20sMPH for a lot of it. I hung with him for the next ~1.25 miles until I got to my street. I dinged my bell as I peeled off, just say say good bye.
Trek Soho DLX: Sleeper Commuter.
This little twig of a guy on a road bike came up behind me on what I consider to be a pretty gentle climb with no warning but did at least give me a wide berth as I was on my commuter with the bags loaded and had a pair of wheels on the rear rack.
Thought he was going to rocket away from me but I ended up passing him on the way up... I was spinning and he was standing and did not seem to understand what all those round pointy things and the shifty thing was for.
