Getting stomped on the bike path by an old guy on vintage steel!! Soul crushing for him. The surprise on his face when he heard the "passing on the left" - only to see santa clause stomping him!. Priceless.
I wonder if he read the expensive bike thread.
Smashing people on the MUP is serious business.

reading between the lines = *Last night headed out for a ride on the local Rail 2 Trail bike path. Passed this youngster fixing a flat on his BRAND NEW $$$$$ EMONDA. Poor kid evidently never fix a flat before "cause he was still trying when I passed him on the way back"*
