  • Depends on the circumstances. I was always faster on my bike than my colleagues but that was in a city coming out of the industrial area during your usual rush hour. Zooming past them on the bike lane always felt nice.

    Anyway it’s always good to remember that there are vastly different circumstances out there for maybe people. This is directed more towards the guy you were replying to than to you.














  • While this is most likely rage bait this isn’t far from human self perception.

    There were multiple studies on this with similar setups. Eg they’d have students play monopoly and give one of them significantly more cash to start with. Not secretly either. One would think this student would understand that this is an insane advantage but the study found that most of the participants believed that they won by playing well.

    So even with the most obvious advantage humans will think that it was their own merit that lead to their success.
