Not so fast, are you now?

Riding home from work 2 days ago.  Backpack on - waiting for the light to change green... when it does, another rider comes flying past me in a Time Trial bike - he gets in is aero position and puts down the hammer.  I decide to jump on his wheel.  Usually these guys are wanna be speedsters - this guy was for real.  Shot from 12mph to 30mph in a few seconds and held it for half a mile, until we got to the next traffic choke point coming into West Chester.  We hit a slight incline and he slowed - I could have easily passed him a that point, but I didn't want to be a dick.

He turned to check traffic and the look on his face was priceless when he saw that he didn't drop me.  Ha!  take that TT boy! 

I love being a speedster.
