I have been passed once or twice by the big clunky hire bikes.

Past caring now.

There’s a guy in Australia known as ‘shirtless Keith’ he’s a guy that rides a relative BSO. He’s known to all and sundry, turns up wearing board shorts, no shirt, and sensible trainers on flat pedals, then just sticks with the ‘best’ clubbies he encounters. He’s been riding for 26 odd years, always on a total ‘shed’ and constantly causes consternation amongst the faux pros who he mixes with. However, the assertion that he’d be ‘an animal’ on a road bike, hasn’t held up to scrutiny as that’s just not his thing, and on a road bike, he can’t do his ‘thing’ at all.

Is he on YouTube , else got any links?

Old enough to know better, too old to care!
Not sure about being overtaken myself, but I find it hard to pass a pub!

The only time that being overtaken bothered me, was riding from Paddington to Kings Cross a few years back. Stopped at the first set of lights, a numpty on a Boris bike wobbles past me, straight through the red lights. I passed them when the lights went green, stopped at the next red, whereupon they wobbled past me, jumped the red lights again and so on and so forth.
I was not happy.
