O K,
I can say, without exception... What people do, do... when I
catch up to them on my E-Assist bicycle...

THEY, SPEED, UP...!

It's just the way it is, they want to be first... People want to be in front, people want to be better than others...
When I
pass them, they are pissed, 100% so far... and try to keep up, even the one guy who "realised", I was on an E-Assist bike, He says," nice motor", I say's "thanks" you are not actually going to try and keep up to me are you? He puts his head down and starts to mash the pedals...
