Passed a roadie on my hybrid! Got it on video!

I don't understand the point of the criticism. This is supposed to be a supportive community. IMO if you can't be supportive or encouraging, keep your comments to yourself.

As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter if the guy was spinning as hard as he could or having a rest day. You accomplished something that made you proud of yourself. That's cause for a mini-celebration in my book

Thank you We need a "thumbs-up" smiley here

I guess I should have titled this thread differently, then the criticism would have been limited to me not saying something to the guy as I passed. I still don't regret not saying anything to him though. Whether I say anything to a rider on the few times I actually pass depends on the circumstances. If someone passes me and says hi to me I ALWAYS say hi back.

Those who criticize need to remember that some men hate being "chicked". Him passing me on the descent after I had passed him first gave me that impression. Therefore I felt it was my duty to have a little fun with him If I'm wrong, so be it. It was still fun.
