was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea:
I do know that I can't catch up to a motorised bicycle - I have tried

I had a Honda Tourist Trophy 500 (looks like a light, manouverable
bike) overtake me at the top of the mountain just before a sharp
decline, and the next day the coworker who rode it expressed surprise
that everytime he looked in the rear view mirror, I was still there -
he couldn't shake me until we started heading sharply uphill again.

I replied "yeah, you were in my way! You kept on using the brakes
around the corners!"

Heheheh!! The old story, eh? "It's not how fast you're in a straight
