Gears are for the weak

I was riding tonight and this guys rolls up on me from behind on a cervelo road bike. Meanwhile I was on my beater with fenders, bag, lock, heavy *** bike rolling 65 gear inches. He starts to pull ahead of me so I'm like OK i'll stick with him. I'm riding for 8 mins with this guy, when he finally gets tired ( we were spinning almost the same gear ) and starts slacking off. I guess he bonked. So I nod at him and pass. He stares blankly at me, no sign of emotion.

30 seconds later same guy blasts by on the big chain ring. I put on the pressure and match his pace as i'm spinning 125rpm at 23mph, the guy must have been like holy ****? this kid on a fixie is killin it without gears. finally i whoop him on the big hill out here and once he reaches the top switches it to his biggest gear so he could smoke me down the descent.

yeah some guys need to work on their cadence and consistency.
