It seems the day I get overtaken this year is getting closer and closer, bearing in mind Swindon does not have a lot of commuting road cyclists but it is increasing.
Last year I was only overtaken on the road by one cyclist, the super fast guy on the Bianchi on his TT bike.
I have seen a lot more bikes on the road this year and many more road bikes.
Almost overtaken by a full on all the trimmings roadie at lunchtime but I think I was harder work than he expected, with me dressed in civvies, on an old hybrid with panniers. I was enjoying the challenge until we went our separate ways at a junction, have been feeling very good the past few commute days. I only partake in silly commuter racing not stupid commuter racing and anything illegal or dangerous immediately invalidates the race.
I remember when super fast Bianchi guy overtook me, both times it spurred me on to ride more.
