Or he'd already done 80 miles and was knackered. Or was deliberately
cycling at a high cadence to increase his aerobic workout and burn more
bodyfat.

You'd have to see it to understand I think. The bike was going slow
but the cadence was really high. Probably something like F1+R1 was
being used or not far off it. He certainly didn't look like a serious
cyclist doing a certain fitness regime. I'm sure in the right gear he
would have had no problem keeping well ahead of me as he was much
lighter and younger.
