Back on the bike after not being able to ride for almost a week due to client visits. Cold wave ended and in a warm period, was about 50 when I left my house (and for the entire commute) but overcast. Nice not to need all those extra layers today. Felt a bit slow overall today.

I had some people who seemed to have something to prove passing me today. First was on my climb to the golden gate. My normal pace was faster then the bike in front of me, a guy on a 29er MTB. I caught up and then passed him. He seemed to take it personal and picked up his pace, then passed me on the Golden Gate Bridge, where I was going slower due to the speed limit for bikes.

Later in SF, this guy passed me from behind at a red light, but was slower then me so I passed him back, yet he kept trying to work in front of me at every red light, making me slow down or pass him again. If you know you are slower then someone, why move in front of then at a red light??
