Eh. You get used to it. After awhile the regular two-ply seems to soft to do the job.
Anyway, earlier this year I got behind some soft-fleshed h.s. kid on a gas-powered scooter. I drafted him for a bit, then swung around and pulled up even, and said "Is that as fast as that thing goes?" His eyes got really big and for a minute I thought he was going to swerve into me and crash.
Oops! That would have been embarrassing but I really wanted to challenge him to a race. The problem with racing a scooter is that you can't make them physically suffer before riding them off your wheel.
