....you are driving your car. Tootling along the road ahead, holding you up, is a council ride on grass-verge mower. You follow for a while, occasionally drifting to the ege of the lane to try and get past. No luck, so drift back in. Look in mirror. 5 cars in queue behind you, all occasionally drifting out as well to see if they can get past, but no. Road takes a downward slope and mower picks up speed, so do you. You see ahead, the wide is widening up and opening out to 2 lanes. You start to build speed in anticipation. You look in the mirror, and see the same frisson of excitement from the other drivers. You all start to jockey to be best placed at the point the mower pulls to the side. Finally he's gone, and the adrenelin flows. You accelerate away with a feeling of release, making sure you get the best spot on the road. It is then you realise you have an unhealthy obsession with cycling when....



....the thought that goes through your head is........



...."this is just like the Kierin."
