The idiot on the left moved about 6", leaving me such a small space I actually brushed up against him as I passed (he was a bit chubby, so he stuck out from his bike).

When I was about 10' in front of him, I looked back. His chubby little legs were pedaling furiously, making the little BMX wheels go as fast as they could.

He yelled, "I'm gonna catch you." I responded, "No you won't." Within a minute, I was so far ahead that I was out of his sight.
