Yes! In my case, I hang back and make darn sure I can "sustain it" before I pass anyone... :-)
I've had a couple compliments for my Atlantis. One was by a mountainbike racer, who immediately focused on the rear triangle and noticed there was good clearance there, which I thought was quite astute. Another compliment came from a group of university lads in a car ( they love to shout out words of encouragement ): "Nice bike, Fag!" I responded with the only thing that came to mind, "Nice car, asshole!" All part of a pleasant ride. On Saturday, September 10, 2016 at 2:42:20 PM UTC-4, Deacon Patrick wrote: > > Nah.
