People do this kind of thing all the time. People are competitive. It is just a fact.

I'll say what I've said before: The best part about R600 is that you *really* can't tell if he makes these posts seriously (i.e. he's a total tool and really believes what he writes), or if he's playing the biggest joke in the world on all (some?) of us.
Either way, it's fun. But the fact that polling BF posters about wether or not he's serious would yield inconclusive results is the part that makes it fun in the long term.

What the hell are they doing in that pic? It looks like they just stopped when they saw the chain and can't figure out what to do about it.

Your story reminds me of a wierd thing that happened to me. I was riding back from the beach about 20 miles into a 26 mile ride- when this guy passes me on a tight corner. I had been trying to maintain a 20 mph pace regardless of the terrain. I was really pushing myself. I could care less who was riding near me. The guy who passed got off his saddle and sprinted away. As I maintained my quest for 20 mph up and down some small hills, I caught up to, lets call him Mr. Sprinter. I didn't want to pass him, nor did I want to grab his wheel, but because of some traffic, for a brief moment I found myself directly behind him. I was close for no more than 15 seconds. Here's where it gets strange. The guy turns around, obviously annoyed at me, and says " Hey, I'm not looking for a riding buddy!" I replied "neither am I." He shakes his head at me and sprints away. Hmmm. Nice guy huh?

(1) sorry about the dog. That sucks.
(2) I'm in Manhattan Nov. 3-6. Someone hook me up with a bike rental -- does not matter in the slightest what the ride is -- so I can race this guy?

Yes I've met this guy in real life, like I said, he was pretty quiet and reserved both times. I wouldn't say he's extremely fast. He's about a hair bit faster than I am, thats about it.
