Ha! That's happened to me a few times on my commute. I'd be going up one of the big suspension bridges on my route, and dropping some reasonably fit looking people, when suddenly a guy dressed in full rain-gear on a chunky-looking hybrid with two loaded panniers would cruise by me. At first I was astounded by the guy's power....then I saw the tell-tale battery on the seat post and breathed a sigh of relief....
