"He shouldn't HAVE done the one handed pass"
Can we have that on a t shirt please?
OP it's a nice story and not worthy of the grammar Nazi's.

Yeah man! Actually it's a road that leads off the North Downs down a steep Ish hill to a cross roads, so not likely any roadies would be on it. Doesn't change the fact that I've got two KOMs on Tarmac on me mtb! 8)
What about a no handed pass? Perhaps playing a trumpet or what have you to show that you don't need to breathe much to ride past the guy riding the moped and his son.

Nazis, there's no apostrophe needed 😆
By coincidence...

Quick summary.... he gets up the hill about twice as quick on a motorbike. Which I guess will be a surprise to no one. I'm not really sure why he bothered or that it even merits an article.
[i]It was a bit of fun, the roadie acknowledged it as a laugh[/i]
Roadie with a sense of humour. Clearly, rare.
Confession time now. I will admit to occasionally riding into Windsor on a girl's sit up and beg three speed Dutch bike (super piece of kit, perfect for shopping errands). I like nothing more than to sit on the wheel of the numerous roadies heading for the town for their coffee stop, sometimes in a group. They do seem to be a little surprised when unable to shake me.
Not all roadies always ride road bikes 😈
The roadie could be in the middle of a century ride.
Great that a 77 year old is still peddling though and for me that's the perfect scenario highlighting good use of an e-bike. Older person still wants to get out and have fun.
