It is probably time to admit that, in online racing at least, I’m a dick. I act in bad faith, I make trouble. I can always be confident that when the chat in a race stops being cheery and starts to fill with innuendo and implied threats of virtual vengeance, they’re talking about me.
I’m not cheating. My profile does not claim I weigh 25kg and stand one metre tall. I’m just annoying. With all respect to people who ride online races with pure motives of achieving victory, I can’t quite achieve that level of buy-in. I take an online race mainly as a workout, and the main purpose of a workout is to work.
