I ride to eat cake.I ride to get to work and sometimes people race me in their cars to signs and streets. It makes me laugh. They are driving cars with 300hp and I have maybe 1/4hp.
My morning commute is chill because I am not a morning person. This morning I rolled up behind a recumbent rider on his way to work. I say "good morning" and he gives me the look. He then proceeds to run 3 stop signs and keep an eye on my progress with one of these for the next 3km. His fairing advantage made it easy for him to drop me. I let all cyclist down because now we all know we are inferior to recumbents. I have heard stories of commuters racing other folks, but why do recumbent riders humiliate me?

I think we need to test your theory that you can actually generate 1/4hp. Lets not exaggerate. I've seen you ride.
I ride because if I didnt my wife would get tired of me shaking uncontrollably on the coach every night from the caffeine high, I love caffeine!! remember the Mc Donalds cakes those were the best.
Yes, beware the "trail trolls" who take their commute as seriously as some of us might a race or even a training ride. Impede their progress, and risk having obscenities screamed at you, as in, "COMMUTERRRRR!!!! Get the F*** out of the way!!!"
I'm with you. The altruistic response is the best--let the commuters and recumbents think they've won. If it keeps them from kicking the dog when they get home from work, it's worth it.
I heard that dude is dodging Frenchie out of competition tests.
