often times, people see a bicyclist and they think they are going 10mph.
That's what usually happens to me. They see a "fat" guy on a bike and assume I'm doing 10kph. (I can hit 40kph on some roads.) So they turn in front of me forcing me to slam the breaks. They are usually then shocked that I caught up to them.
