I had the opposite happen last week, but it was also cool. At first a guy zooms passed me, but then starts slowing down and looking behind him. I thought he was looking for his riding companion(s) but he was encouraging me to catch up and ride along. Now, I am an old married lady, but attention from a very good looking guy on a bike is always a good thing (he was a hottie, older but very fit, italian, tall and thin). He had a nice custom ti seven, and we rode about 20 miles together. I knew he was stronger and could have ridden faster, but clearly he had decided that it would be more fun to ride with me, until I let it slip that my husband was ahead in the fast group of men, and then he took off too .
