Hell yeah dude. I love having races with unaware participants. Sometimes when I’m on my big heavy autistic touring bike I’ll see a group of actual road cyclists and try to keep up, but I’ve never been able to.

i ride my bike path pretty often but i have the best performance when i race with other people, whether they know theyre participating or not
ive been wondering what are you supposed to do when you catch up to someone who is going just a little bit slower than you, it takes too long to pass + you lose the draft of riding behind them before oncoming traffic cuts you off, and if you push hard to pass you will get tired and then they will pass you back

be faster? or just don't worry about it? a couple times i ended up behind these same two girls who were all kitted out and pretty fast. i would slowly reel them in and pass them on the flats and then on every hill they would rocket past me. rinse, repeat. i need to lose some weight.
