Of course, if the guy turns out to be a lot faster than I am and leaves
me in the dust that could present a very different problem :-)

Not on the South Canal trail because that's all rather flat. That is the bike path where folks floor it in their Velomobiles. I was going 25mph and felt like king of the universe. Then ... whoosh ... one of those 60lbs behemoths flew by. Later I saw the rider struggling to load the heavy beast into his truck and cycled over to the parking lot to help. "So how fast were you going when you passed me?" ... "Oh, not outrageaously fast, 40mph or so". He had a big old stereo system and all mounted in there.
