During the summer I usually go to the local bike shop for their Wednesday evening ride. The new owner of the shop is a retired Army guy that taught hand-to-hand combat at Fort Campbell. A nice guy and a very strong rider. Jimmy and I rode side by side for most of the ride, and later another friend that was with us said "You were riding alongside Jimmy, well done."
I told him "I was riding beside Jimmy because he allowed it. If he didn't want to ride alongside, there is nothing I could do to stop him or catch him." He said "Yeah, I reckon you're right. I couldn't catch him either, if he didn't want to be caught."
Reality does make an appearance from time to time.
