Bit of SCR fun this morning with a 'regular'. Just pulled away from lights and can see a shadow matching me along the flat coming out of the Town Centre. Keep the pace steady, hit traffic. Another open stretch now we are through lights, but it's up hill, so power away, leave cyclist for dust. Not seen again through next two sets of lights. Waiting at third set, pull away and he shoots past - I look down and I'm doing 24mph and that's about as fast as I can maintain on the fixed. It's only a 'regular' - quite a powerful guy on a Bianchi, but he can only pass me on the downhill - he has no chance on the up-hills - the cheeky bugger . Anyway, he jumps the next set and is gone.
I've tried to talk to him in the past, but he's a 'headphone' cyclist, and he just doesn't talk back - in his own little world.
