Is it just me, but when you see another biker ahead of you....

Do you immediately think 'PREY' and absolutely have to catch them and make the pass?

No. If I catch them and if it's safe, then I'll pass. If I don't, there's no point in riding like a dick.

I had the opposite the other day, where I spotted a bike coming up behind quite quick.  It was a nice windy B road, with a fair amount of traffic.  It was a great game of cat and mouse, me trying to get ahead and him trying to keep up.

He didn't pass me though 

Neither, fortunately, did he put on concealed blue lights and pull you over...

At what point did I say I was riding illegally or dangerously? 


I've done the proper training and ride carefully and considerately 99.9% of the time, even when playing.  This is just a bit of added fun on the bike.  No, I won't pass if it's not appropriate or potentially dangerous, but if the opportunity arises I will take it, and get great satisfaction from it.  Likewise if the guy behind me isn't showing the same sort of care, I will let him past.  It's only a game, and I'm not going to be pushed into riding badly.
