I was leading a slightly overcast cycling tour yesterday, a friendly couple from Puerto Rico celebrating the guy's birthday. We stopped at a red light on Abbot Kinney, looking down into the open top of a bright blue Lamborghini. The guys revved the engine while I was looking away. "Hey!" I heard. "Race ya!" I looked around. The driver was looking at me.
"Race ME?" I said.
"Yeah!"
"Ha, you're on!" I looked over my shoulder to grin at the guests and got ready to jam on the touring bicycle. The light turned green, and I took off as fast as I could. The Lambo did, too.
It wasn't much of a contest, but we all had a good laugh.
