I commute all year in trainers, on a squeaky bike, that looks old because it is. I can advise your summer acquaintances that the most effective way to annoy a cyclist with 'all the gear' and a road bike is to draught them on a 29-year-old mountain bike with panniers.I commute on my road bike, in cleats and clobber, and at this time of year often find myself being passed by younger chaps pedalling furiously in trainers, on creaking bikes with rusty chains, as if to prove some sort of point.
I always hope it really irritates them when I pass them a little further up the road once they’ve run out of puff.
