This guy is short, and realized that if he maintains a really low position, he can get completely under the top of my draft. He said the wind was coming up from behind him at 37mph and going the wrong way on his jersey. he was also able to watch the road ahead under my saddle. lol makes me feel like a freak show.
by most standards i'm average height: 5'9".
back in clogland, i'm tiny.
there was one guy i sometimes raced with who was huge. HUGE. so huge that he should have had a custom bike. instead he sat all the way back, and stretched all the way forward.
i could see the road under his saddle. thing is, due to that, he wasn't a very good draft.
