Fell Off My Bike, and Vowed Never to Get Back On

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

sounds like a real newb! you are drafting your friend, and a "slower cyclist meanders into your path," so you make sure to have your front wheel crossing his rear wheel when you know an upcoming obstacle is about to be skirted. newb newb newb
