Last night, on my way home. There is that quiet piece of road, which is pretty steep, especially at the end bit (I’d say about 15% at least). I was riding up slowly, then I heard some voices behind me. Looked back – couldn’t see anything (it was properly dark and rainy). After few seconds the voices became louder and I could also hear that rumbling sound, like a very loud dynamo…
Then suddenly I was overtaken by two chavy-type riders (read: tracksuits, no helmets, no lights) and they were flying up that hill! Really fast, especially the first dude!
The second one probably had his battery running low, as when I got to the top on the hill I saw one dude (the first one) waiting on a pavement, whilst the other one had his bike abandoned in the middle of the road (literally!) and was sitting on a curb trying to catch his breath… 😆
The bikes looked like some of those “Argos mtb specials” with attached electric motors on the seat tube.
I think I’m going to buy one… 😆
