Drop wheelsuckers?

Post by Broom Wagon »

Oh blimey - having been an inveterate wheelsucker all my life it seems that people just want to drop me :(

No one minds when someone is getting tired/struggling a bit - we've all been there!

Certainly some folk are a bit more shy when it comes to spending time on the front - sometimes it's a confidence thing I guess, perhaps wanting to conserve energy so as to avoid blowing up later in the ride.

It's the habitual rider who never takes any wind, then drills it up hills and makes everyone suffer that really pisses people off - it's simply bad behaviour :twisted:
Keep pedalling!
