For those who do not know the rules off by heart.Rule No.71...
Know how to train properly and stick to your training plan. Ignore other cyclists with whom you are not intentionally riding. The time for being competitive is not during your training rides, but during competition.

Do you hear their little gear change noise as they panic to react and get infront? The lycra-clad guys seem to get really "competitive" when overtaken by a fat bloke on a hybrid with front sus. and full mudguards even if the lockout, slight downhill and tailwind has levelled the playing field a bit ;DMy favourite overtakes are when I pass lycra-clad chaps when I am wearing "civies" - especially with my hair down and skirt flapping!
Just do me a favour when you indulge in SCR with someone who isn't racing....
KEEP THE PACE UP AFTER YOU PASS and don't bloody well ease off straight after and force me to slow. Three times. Then definitely don't undertake me as I take primary at a stop sign over a junction and then try to overtake the cyclist on the left that I am positioned to overtake, forcing past my front wheel.
Oh and incidentally don't hurtle straight out of a give way forcing me to turn sharply to avoid you, whilst you also send a pedestrian leaping out of your way either.
If you ride a green Viking road bike with matching green lycra in Sheffield, then I mean you!
Old men loaded with panniers, fat people, noobs on BSOs,women........ You ride my commute, I will destroy you (probably).
