It’s a humbling thing.

to be passed while riding your bike.


I’m not talking about being overtaken by a peloton of Lycra clad cyclists out for their Sunday morning sprint.

I was taken over by an older man with no dental plan on a one speed bike pulling a bike-trailer with a 60 pound dog in it.


That’s humiliating.

Come to think of it, my goal is to pass someone while riding my bike. I think I’ve never passed anyone.

Well, there was that child who was on a bike, you know the kind with no pedals and the kid just pushes themself along with their feet, Fred Flintstone style,

And,

there was the father who was out for a morning ride with their new baby propped up in the front of his bike.I did manage to pass him.

other than that,I dot recall overtaking anyone.
