The /n/ fantasy is when you pass (defeat) someone on a nicer bike going so fast they feel the shock wave and it means no one needs or should enjoy nicer things than you.
The real sign that you've Made It™ is when you slow down a little before passing someone on an equally nice (but brand new with the tire whiskers intact) bike, so they don't feel too bad about it, and later they see you chilling on a bench by the side of the road and they stop and ask you a ton of questions about bike fit, training/prehab, apparel, and gear, because they accidentally mistook you for a knowledgeable person.
We're all going to make it, /n/.
