Breaking Wind in a Paceline
Do you wait until you rotate to the back;
Do you let go at the front, jet propelling your pull:
Or do you crop dust the advancing line as you filter back?

I wait to see what the ridiculously anal ride leader considers acceptable. But even then I'll probably find that the rules are selectively applied.

Usually happens when I'm OTB.

They don't occur often while on the bike, but if so, I'm a bit cautious that I'm just passing wind. Either they slip out on their own, or I'll stand while OTB and let 'er rip. I do try to save some for the wife at home, since I know she'd be disappointed otherwise.

I do it whenever the mood takes me and I don't care who is around.
I do that with braking too.

Depends. Are we talking rim breaking or disc breaking? Dis breaking allows better flatulation modulation.

Our team is so blazingly fast that the last rider is already through the cloud before anyone's olfactory cortex has registered the possibility of an unexpected aroma.

Vain, But Lacking Talent
Reminds me of one of my favorite cycling movies: "Breaking A Wind"

I do it right as my turn at the front starts, to give a me a boost as I lose the shelter of the lead rider.

But if I accidentally did surge, I would just tap my brakes to slow down.
