A fun game for cyclists : it’s called The Race. I think there were rules somewhere on the internet. I’ve forgotten the details but this is basically how it goes.
You get 1 point every time you pass a “slow” bike: people who are taking their time, old contraptions, etc
2 pts for decent bikes
3 points for cyclists in racing attire
4 points for electric bikes
5 points for cars
You lose the same amount every time you get passed
On good days I can easily get in the thousands with all the cars commuting. Makes me feel so good.
I used to cross the Manhattan Bridge in NYC on my commute, sometimes the Q or D train would emerge out of the tunnel onto the bridge just as I was coming up the bike ramp and it was a really fun challenge to try racing it up to the apex. If you can manage to pace it on the uphill, you’ll always pass it on the downhill, and then come ripping off the bridge at near 30 mph.

How many points for busses? Trains?
Where I am, cyclists and busses share the same lane, so it would be extra hard to pass one. 20 points?
Passing a train would make you the king/queen of bicycle forever
