Experienced the same today. Also a guy who locked up both brakes when he noticed me coming up behind him. At first I was worried I would run him over, then I realized I wanted to run him over, sadly stopped in time.Late to this GMT.
Got a good ride in. Intersections cloggers were out in full force. Pretty sure I have it in me to kill people.
On a positive note, crossed many items off the shit list.
I've done away with the curly bars and am sticking with regular mtb bars on my gravel bike. It feels much safer and more capable when the going gets rough. I've been really enjoying the mixed surface rides on the rigid mtb/gravel bike this past week. It's a little hard on the wrists when I run into rocks/potholes that are hidden is all.New Bike test ride weekend for wifey. She had such a great time, it's a done deal. Sweet new gravel bike, Liv Devote. She felt SO much more confident on the loose and marginal roads, it was amazing how much faster she was. It's definitely the right tool for curly bar riding here.
She has a 75 mile ride in two weeks, I think part of her calculation was motivation, she hated her old bike.
