They always left me behind at intersections because my acceleration sucks, but surprise, surprise. I kinda felt uncomfy everytime they catch up to me at stop lights. I just know they are glaring at me.
My wife passes me as well, even when I'm on my zippy '79 Schwinn 10 speed and wearing my super fast spandex, but she smiles, and I'm happy she's outside on a bicycle. If she didn't have the electric assist motor she wouldn't ride. Ridding even with electric power, is better than not riding at all!
