What significant first? The original poster never mentioned that he felt great because he for the first time past someone else. He started with him being proud of passing the kid that HE thought was showing off.

Yes I guess so. It’s hard to achieve experience all you guys have. So tell me, where can I learn to come up with conclusions based solely on observation without knowing the actual fact that person did an act for whatever reason which might be different from that of an observant (YOU) assumptions?

Who ever is getting defensive? I see you defending your own comments which were based on no particular facts. Yes the guy feels happy, good for him. What i don’t understand is another 100 people joining the bandwagon and telling their stories of how they passed kids on their bikes. Every day I pass cars, and other cyclists and so what? Perhaps we males are inclined to show off our macho selves on boards like this where no one knows who we are.
Rain, why don’t you discuss passing kids on their tricycles in your local shop with other ADULT cyclists. They will laugh in your face!
