(actually, I just googled "drafting a semi on a bicycle" to see how dangerous it really is, looks like Myth Busters took a crack at it. I know what I'm watching when I get home today!)
I remember that Mythbusters. For all the money they spend on blowing crap up, it was surprising they couldn't have sprung for a Powertap so they could get wattage. And the guy who rides the bike is wearing downhill armor. It looks ridiculous. I would have volunteered my Quarq-equipped road bike if asked.
