Oh, dear god. Here we go again with this every Fred dreams about passing roadies schtick. You're one of those people who puts everything he has into passing me, then fizzles out immediately and slows to a crawl. You, sir, are the reason we avoid bike paths once it starts getting warm.

Just the other day, I was going about 10 miles an hour, cruising, when some guy on a couple thousand dollar Cervelo or some other uber light race bike, fully kitted out, aero helmet, full 9 yards, flew past me without so much as a warning. He didn't get too close, but I couldn't stand the smug look I was imagining on his face.
