Definitely. If you're going to hang on, you gotta at least say hi. And if you're gonna be back there for any amount of time, you gotta take a pull too! That being said, it seems awfully stupid to draft behind someone on a busy city street where there any many things that could cause an emergency braking situation. Some clown was *apparently* behind me going through campus once and when I stopped at a stop sign for some pedestrians nearly ran right into me and then had the balls to yell at ME. I of course caught up to him and yelled back which resulted in only a sheepish look. What a dink.

Martino and I also got honked at twice by some guy on Harbord late last week. We were riding side-by-side at about 5:00pm in the curb lane, headed Eastbound by Harbord Fish & Chips. You know, about 50' away from where that lane ends and the bike lane starts. As the guy goes by he yells "that isn't a bike lane". wtf. Because we were REALLY holding him up. His wife must have been pissed when he got home 8.5 seconds late!

Kergin: Thanks, it's a Giro Atmos.
