Some people just don't care about going fast.
I used to sometimes try to motivate myself to ride harder and faster, every effort petered out after a week or two. Now I know I'm happy to plod along at a comfortable pace and be outdoors getting moderate exercise, rather than losing money in a car by burning gas and increasing wear.
This has translated to my driving too, my wife is constantly annoyed that I 'get stuck' behind slow drivers and never think to pass them.
I guess I'm an old man now. Get off my lawn.
