    I see plenty of fast newbies. Telltale signs of a newbie for me are riding against traffic, riding on the sidewalk, riding in flip flops, and running red lights.

    I see plenty of experienced cyclists running red lights.

    Ultimately, we might think we're seeing someone who's new to the sport but we never really know one way or the other.

    And we were all new once. And who cares what others think anyway?

    - Gray 2010 carbon WSD road bike, Rivet Independence saddle
    - Red hardtail 26" aluminum mountain bike, Bontrager Evoke WSD saddle
    - Royal blue 2018 aluminum gravel bike, Rivet Pearl saddle

    Gone but not forgotten:
    - Silver 2003 aluminum road bike
    - Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles

    Yep I must admit though, it is a little humbling to see everyone getting further and further away from you until they are just, gone. Thankfully I enjoy riding by myself

    Perhaps I can join you? I'm a slowpoke and I sort of huff and puff and swear my way up hills. (Depending on the hill, of course.)
    At least I don't leave slime trails.
