........ On my push bike.

Ok, it was downhill [1]
In a 30MPH zone [2]
With speed bumps [3]

But the look on his face as I went passed (at approx 20mph) was a picture.

I don't think he was amused when I waved him on after the last speed bump.

I hope you bunny-hopped over the speed bumps, for good measure.

This happened to me. On honeymoon in Hawaii. I rented a HD
(Dynawideglide) for a day and got overtaken by a bicycle going down a
twisty slope. I couldn't steer the damned thing. I had a queue of cars
behind me. Typical or what?

Idling along downhill at about 40mph enjoying a particularly

I had similar descending the Col du Galibier in the Savoie Alpes in 1995.
It was my first, proper alpine pass over 2000m and I was somewhat awed.

I was once overyaken by a Harley on a Twisty mountain road in the
Vosges. To be fair, I was riding Ginge's ZXR1400 with Fluffycat on the
backm as he claimed to have never taken a pillion before, and he was
some way behind on my gixxer.

Fair play to the Harley rider though - was a stripped down jobby in
the XR750 style of things, being ridden _very_ enthusiastically.

Driving a sub-one-litre automatic hire car with four people in it
in the mountains near Guadalest, we were almost overtaken by a bicycle
while going uphill.
