How is it that people can be that stupid?

My commute was one of my fastest. I was reeling in another roadie who was pretty far ahead and seemed to have roughly the same performance characteristics as I do. I guess you could say I eventually caught him because he stayed on the trail through Burlington's Waterfront Park and I went up the street that runs next to the park. I had a straight line and smooth pavement. He had curves and some bumps. (Which is why I don't stay on the trail there.)

It's humid, too. 78 right now, dewpoint 69. Yucky.
