Don’t Be A Half Wheel Harry

Thanks to Danny Cohen and “The Hand” for this tip of the day…

One of the most annoying things about riding with someone new to the sport is the “Half Wheeler”. Many probably don’t know they are doing it or understand why it’s annoying so here’s the low down.

Half wheeling is when you ride half a wheel or more ahead of the person you are cycling with… Half wheeling is an annoying cycling fau pax that should be avoided at all cost, half wheeling you riding partner is like saying, “your rubbish and I’m putting my front wheel ahead of your to remind you of that”…

Sure some days your going to feel like a million bucks but resist the urge to kick it up a notch, the guy riding beside you might not have just downed a Red Bull or may have done almost double the amount of km’s you have.

Don’t be a “Half wheel Harry” your buddies and strangers alike will thank you for it.
