• Is wheelsucking on the commute OK?

    I say it is. It's all fair game. If someone RLJs and I catch up: wheelsuck. If someone overtakes me then lows down: wheelsuck. Push past me at lights but are not that fast? You'd best believe that's a wheelsuckin'.

    If someone's wheelsucking me I deliberately go slow to tempt them into overtaking, then I wheelsuck them!

    It's all part of my massive plan to photograph every open rear brake QR lever in London.

  • So this.

    I only wheelsuck in the circumstances above or when I'm really shattered and even then I try and have a go in the front.

    I don't get why its soo taboo.

    Because if you're close enough for it to have any useful effect, you're too close to be safe.

    A complete stranger, in busy and unpredictable conditions a couple of inches off your back wheel? No thanks.
