The response is usually "No, but I like going fast" or there is no response at all -- dead silence. I'm always left shaking my head, wondering why someone would consider stretching their finances to add a fraction of a mph to their speed on the local bike path.
So, people who don't race or do fast group rides all stick to bike paths?
