Riding wind shadow - bad habit?

Generally unless it is someone I know (which means I know how they ride) I do not want them draughting me.

Fixed and freewheel bikes handle v differently so it makes it more risky mixing the two when draughting. Twice I have been hit by people trying ineptly to draught me.

There have been a couple of times when I have ben chatting to another cyclist and one or the other of us has said "feel free to tuck in behind my wheel". Generally its pretty pointless on urban rides. Though as I am starting to train for la Marmotte I am discovering how important it is on the open road, and the different kind of observation required to do it well.

RPM's RP training rides have been another good place to practice draughting on a fixed wheel bike.

might be worth going on a few club rides as the more experienced riders will give you loads of tips that'll really help
