Do roadies ever ride without drafting each other, or is it just a myth perpetuated by the cycling community to make themselves feel better about their lack of actual fitness? It seems like every time you see a group of road cyclists, theyre all bunched up together, sucking each others wheels and pretending to be something theyre not.
Is it really that hard to ride at a decent pace without having to draft off someone else? Or are roadies just too afraid to actually put in the effort and ride on their own? Its not like theyre racing the Tour de France every weekend, so whats the point of drafting in the first place?
And dont even get me started on the so-called safety benefits of drafting. If you cant handle riding in a straight line without running into someone, then maybe you shouldnt be on the road in the first place. Its not like drafting is going to save you from getting hit by a car or something.
So, do roadies ever actually ride without drafting each other, or is it just a bunch of hype? Are there any roadies out there who can actually ride at a decent pace without having to suck someones wheel? Or are they all just a bunch of posers who cant handle the truth?
And whats with the whole peloton thing, anyway? Is it just a bunch of roadies getting together to pretend to be something theyre not? Do they really think theyre part of some kind of exclusive club just because they can ride in a straight line and draft off each other?
It seems like the whole road cycling community is just one big joke, and drafting is just a way for them to make themselves feel better about their lack of actual fitness. So, do roadies ever actually ride without drafting each other, or is it just a myth?
