• Good to hear.

    No, I wouldn't call being run over by a drafter in place of me not slamming on the anchors to avoid having a full head on with a j walking ped necessarily doing it wrong.
    Instead I feel a little bit more enlightened to the fact that if I do come to a dead stop to avoid a possible ped strike that I've got a good chance of getting run over by whatever vehicle is behind me.

    You can always look behind.

  • First time riding with my dynamo. Im very impressed. I even went out of my way on the way home to ride down an unlit canal path.

    Edit: This wasnt meant to be a reply

  • HAHA is that so I can see them as they smash into me?

    Na seriously I learnt a lot that day, I virtually collect no drafters now because I am always now checking behind.

    I think the sheer fact that I'm looking behind more often just so I know what/where the general traffic is like on my rear throws strangers off of my draft.

    On the occasion that I do collect a draft now I just do a couple of "get off my rear wheel you cunt. I don't know you and this isn't the track" fishtaily kind of skids where I there is so little weight on the back wheel I don't actually reduce any speed, just make a really loud noise.

    I also juggle knives, that looses them to.

    Edit: And texting
