It's the same on a bike. You have to justify the pass by proving that you are riding at a much faster pace and continue to do so!

Then stop and look at the tall buildings. Oh wait, that is in NYC.

Don't forget the timing aspects of looking ahead for a big enough space to overtake, not encumbered by lampposts or oncoming pedestrians or cars illegally parked over the pavement, and having to hold back so it doesn't feel you are encroaching on them.

Also applies when you reluctantly overtake someone when riding your bike. Sometimes leading to falling off and being surrounded by those you've just overtaken asking if you're ok. Or is that just me?

It's not exhaustion, it's pausing to appreciate a vanilla chai cortado.

- As you hit the ground you see the other person's shoes pass you effortlessly.

-Miss where you wanted to go because you were walking soooo fast
-Cross to the other side of the road to make your way back in the hope no-one will realise what you are doing 😂
