They can usually be spotted hauling their bikes on the carriers but never really riding their bikes!
I love this sport for the POSERS! They make me laugh.
BTW- Glad your ride was enjoyable over miserable. Not saying he is not a great rider but he may very well not be what you think!
Do you not suppose that gloating about "eating these folks up on the asphalt" and imagining their chagrin are indications of your own insecurity. Why does it always have to be a competiton even when only one is playing? I just ride the damn bike. I wasn't kidding about getting dropped early so I can ride the way I want. I know. I know. I am in the minority. But what a satisfied minority it is.
