Wait, can we define "best?"

Beanz is certainly the one who displaces the most air, but given a choice, I'd draft off of Happy...

Beanz is first because even I can get a good draft off him.
I'll take 2nd though

"Most" is not always "best".

At 6'3" I displace a lot of air too. But I'll leave it to others to say what the quality of my draft is

I voted Jason, because I've drafted off him the most often. I like to draft Dave and Nacy, too. Chimivee? I've never been able to ride fast enough to catch him.

I've never drafted off Beanz before, so I couldn't vote for him. I would guess if I did, I wouldn't even have to pedal!

So, you're one of the those who are on the "in" crowd - now, this does sound like a more interesting game indeed, but perhaps for that other forum?

I think you're the only person who CAN draft off of Nacy. I'm pretty sure I'd run smack dab into the outer edges and beyond.
