I feel bad when I drop another cyclist (unless it's a fixie)

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I was on the end of my ride today (40 miles) and some guy on a xmart mountain bike passed me at almost 30 mph as I was sprinting for the last mile, in the prosses of passing me he started slowing down and dropped behind me.

While riding my carbon road bike, resplendent in my technicolor kit, I was dropped by an old fat doofus wearing flip flops on a beater hybrid.

I tried to get his license number so I could sue him and make him pay for my therapy and medications needed to deal with my deflated ego and now way to low T.

Have you no mercy?
