Red light embarrasment.

:lol:

So you're riding into work on your Bianchi.... you're too cool for a helmet and you've got a Rapha cap on.... you've got your blue Bianchi water bottle... you've got your Campagnolo Record groupset and you're coming up to a red light.

There's someone on a folding bike waiting at the lights and - well you're too cool to wait, so you squeeze past him and ride on through the red.
you're too cool to wait.
you're a real cyclist.
you've got the gear.

About half a mile later the guy on the folder who was waiting at the lights has caught you.
The guy on the folder wearing a bright yellow club kit (who's just ridden 20 miles).
He passes you.
He cheerily says good morning.
Guess that must be the "agreeable" bit mentioned on his kit.
and he drops you as the road rises.

:D

That must have felt awful.

What a glorious morning. :mrgreen:

I trust you were breathing calmly and even freewheeling as you went passed for maximum effect :D .

Certainly breathing calmly, was feeling "just run in" - did chalkpit this morning. :)
