I was passed by one yesterday on my commute on the bike path-no call out that he was coming, and it was a bit surprising seeing as how I was going 23 mph at the time. The gentleman was in bike clothes and looked pretty fit. He was turning his highest gear and going close to 28. I had to work pretty hard to get up in his draft, which I felt I deserved seeing as how he scared me. Not social at all over the course of the next mile when we both turned off.

I'm a big fan of e-bikes for their ability to bridge speed gaps between social riders and extend riding careers. Not so much so for hitting the commuting routes at close to 30 mph. That seems more like an ego thing, or more graciously, an important job you just can't wait to get to.

Edit: Never mind the above. This morning I got dusted by a kid on a single speed. I guess it's just me.
