I'm the wheel sucker. If a rider passes me and then cuts in 1' in front of me, I suck his wheel the rest of the way. he deserves it. that's the price he pays for passing and leaving no room. Would you do that in a car? Pass, and then cut in?

Some guys HAVE to be first no matter what. They pay if they pass me.

I get annoyed that they're leeching off me without offering to share the lead. They obviously increased their speed to draft, since I passed them in the first place. What do you do in situations like this? If I let them go ahead of me, they'll just slow down, and I'll pass them again. Should I just let it be? But I feel so used....
