At least I got the satisfaction of knowing he was going to have to pedal his fat butt against a 15mph headwind to get back to town.
He was probably riding the bike under orders from his wife and doctor...due to his ED.
A couple of years back, I rode a week-long tour with a recently retired urologist, and he had very little sympathy for most of his ED patients, and nothing but ridicule for all the TV ads for Viagra, Cialis, etc. He said that 95+% of his ED patients were fat couch potatoes who wanted a pill to help fix their p*ss-poor lifestyle choices. He also said that many of them were smokers, and they were all completely clueless that their ED might also be an indication of heart disease, diabetes, etc. He really wished he could write a prescription to "turn off the TV and get your butt off the couch you lazy tub of lard!"...but he had a payroll to meet.
