You are mostly either deriding other cyclists for their physical inferiority to you or mocking then for not following the fashion 'rules' you so carefully adhere to. You define yourself by your physical superiority over some people and your idolatry of others who are physically superior to you. Life for you is a non-stop hierarchy judgement. It's a real pity.<br />Cycling is a joy. It is liberating, not shackling. Other than for safety, there are no rules. People should ride however they want, wearing whatever they want, however quickly or slowly they fancy. And if they should overtake you on your precious 'mandated wattage'(!) recovery ride then so be it; is you who look a tool for making excuses about it online. <br />If I saw you on a ride I would overtake you. You would, of course, overtake me back - your fragile ego would force you to - but I wouldn't give a shit, because I have bigger and more profound fish to fry in life than how many people in my local area are faster than me, and I don't need to define my self-worth by constantly asserting my superiority over other people.
