    I wanna say it's feeling a little like we're piling on the threadstart'er blondiebiker and that's not the intent. It's not wrong, it's good to be competitive, it's good to sprint, it's especially fun to catch up with guys .... just be safe

    Oh yea it's fun. But the key is that you catch up to them... and pass them. That's even more fun than hanging on their back tire.

    And if you want to see a guy ride faster... pass him.

    Oops, I guess I'm guilty of piling on. Sorry blondie! I guess it just never crossed my mind to try to catch up with anyone who passes me on a bike or car. I'm definitely not competitive, and diversity is good, but I also wanted to let blondiebiker know (and she did ask!) that not everyone is comfortable with someone paying so much attention to them.
