It's a group of 3 riders idling down one of the Yank's three twisty roads. They're behind a line of cars/trucks doing about 25mph. One guy's riding with his fist on his hip, casual like.

Suddenly, a Wild Pedalist appears. Wilde Pedalist uses Undertake. Bikers shrug, let him through. Pedalist gets stuck behind the rear truck for a net gain of about 20 yards.

Bikers pull off, doubtless for a laugh. The rest is silence.

You've changed, man. Cool

Alternate view here, plus links to the original and another rider's POV. Between 35 and 50mph, so they say. All of them having their ride spoilt by a slowcoach car. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=alBAmO9KtL4

She's kinda cute. In a sorta Gothic way.

But fortunately I approve.

That's the sort of thing you take to your grave. More exciting than the original video though Sleeping

I get overtaken all the damn time by Cyclists in London, they jump lights, fiz around the pavements to turn left on a busy junction, filter like fucking idiots etc etc etc.
Not to mention no regard for red lights (is this a London specific thing?).

I am a keen cyclists but fucking hell, even I hate them,

I much prefer it when pedalists run reds - it means they're not stuck in front of me when the race sta...the traffic lights go green.
What's not to like about it? The risk is all on them and it speeds up my journey - they're pretty adept at not actually getting hit.

I genuinely get a sad face when one stops in front of me and abides by the rules.
