Just ride your damn bikes. You obviously aren't enjoying bicycling enough if you feel the need to "beat" someone else who doesn't give a **** about you or the made up race you have created in your mind.

I did not intend for this thread to be any sort of trolling attempt. I just hadn't seen a thread dedicated to discussing the endless supply of threads about dropping other people on bikes, so I thought I'd voice my opinion. Thanks for engaging in this discussion!
I'm trying to reconcile these two posts and I'm just not coming up with anything. I guess I'm prideful or illiterate because the first seems like an obvious effort to antagonize a group of people, and the second seems like a lame attempt to deflect the backlash. Oh, okay. I guess that's the reconciliation.
