Today I had a Chinese road biker pass me as I came off the bike path onto the road at the Guandu Temple. I was moseying along, he was cruising! I stepped on it, it took awhile, but I caught up to him and passed him as we were nearing the next bike path approach. He tucked in behind me and I led him up to where they had closed the path for a few feet to put in new plants. I didn't know what he was going to do, so I slowed up and pulled to the right. He slingshotted past me toward where I was headed in the first place.
Of course I sped up and caught him again. Right behind him up a small ramp. He stopped at the road he was going to cross, and as I went by on the road I was not going to cross, waves, smiles, and thank-yous sang out from both of us. That was FUN to "semi-race" a dude on a tricked out road bike...me on my Fuji hybrid.

I'm telling you, that new Fuji looks fast just sitting there! Alot of people pooh pooh hybrids, but mine goes everywhere, and does pretty much everything.
I love it! This time of year, the recumbent is resting.
The gearing on my hybrid is even better than my road bike...it helps to have a 10 speed instead of just an 8 speed. Now, to get the engine faster.
