Some of us are what would be known as "sleepers" in the automotive world.
My commuter is 20 years old. Platform pedals. Tail rack with bag. Headlight, blinkies, mirror, etc. etc. etc.
One guy blew by me through a stop sign and after about 3 miles of him riding what looked like as hard as he could ride, in the mid 20MPH range and close to 30 at times, he turned around to see me hanging on him like a bad suit. He started pushing his thighs. This amused me to no end. Finally he did another head check (still here!) and just stopped pedalling, drifted way to the right, and let me go. I imagined him puking after I got far enough ahead.
