Tip 135: Catch the rider that passed you at the next traffic light.

You wasted all your efforts, didn't you, you smug bugger.
You might be strong of leg, but you don't know the ways of the traffic signals round these parts, oh no!
It's not all sinew, my friend.  It's also in the mind.

BONUS TIP: Breathe loudly, or flick your brake lever to let the hero know their efforts were in vain.

  2. Alex - I am guessing this is an internal monologue you find yourself repeating?? I have similar ones for the cyclist / driver/ pedestrian archetypes of my acquaintance.
    I am starting to believe cycling is at least 50 percent silent soliloquies directed at other road users.
