My name is not Steve or Pablo, nor do I have any of their intimidating or fast qualities, my commuter bike is very practical with flat bars, puncture-proof tyres and is made of steel – BUT even so, I have a problem with snagging MAMILs on new, carbon-fibre bikes on my way home of an evening.
I’ve lost count of the number of times an example of this cycling species buries themselves to re-overtake me when I accidentally catch them on my way home. They won’t chat, return a ‘hello’ or even make eye-contact. Can I get anti-MAMIL spray or something?
Though it is perverse fun if I’ve had a bad day at work – when they re-overtake to sit on their wheel until they eventually pop. Heh.
