| 자전거 /Paceline Riding (Group Riding), Peloton 2010. 6. 29. 11:21I was taught to paceline years ago by keeping the front wheel inches off the rear wheel. Don't focus on the wheel but the rider's butt, seat, or some other non-moving part of the rear end of the bike.
Ride smoothly and predictably. Unless you are at the back of the paceline, don't stop pedaling. It allows the rider behind to run up on your wheel producing the slinke effect in the paceline and possibly causing a crash. Adjust your gearing to maintain your cadence, which will not be constant as you progress through the paceline, which is due to the variable effect of drafting.
Do not stand in the paceline. Your time to relieve pressure points by standing on the pedals is after your pull as you slide back down the paceline and attach to the end.
Maintain the pace set because it is a team effort. If you have someone that wants to ride faster than the group can, let them go and maintain the team effort. I've watched people blow pacelines apart, when it was their pull by pulling faster than the group could go. Rude and frustrating because it was all about them and no one benefitted. If the paceline is going 20 mph, maintain 20 mph during your pull, even if you can pull 28 mph.
If you run up on the wheel ahead, move out of the paceline slightly to catch wind and slow you down. That has rarely worked for me so I usually feather the front brake. Some people disagree with that practice and prefer feathering the rear brake but I have read the pros feather the front to prevent alarm from spreading throughout those following.
Your time of your pull is indirectly proportional to the effort required. If conditions are tough, short pulls. If conditions are easy, longer pulls. If you tire, go through the paceline but rotate out, when it is your pull. This can range from 30 sec.s to several minutes.
Put weaker riders behind stronger riders. Remember, it is a team effort and will only be as strong as the weakest rider. Help that rider.
When you pull off the front, slide to the rear as close to the paceline as possible. In a crosswind, pull off into the crosswind to shield those still working harder than you in the paceline.
In wind, the paceline should form to allow riders to find that "sweet spot" to benefit from drafting. Be careful with this on high traffic roads.
In a double paceline, actually on any ride with others, pick your line and maintain it. Do not veer, suddenly or otherwise, right or left into or towards another rider. You don't want to run into another rider or cause an adverse reaction in them causing them to go down and/or take another rider with them.
Again, you want to ride smoothly and predictably. Riders that cannot or do not ride smoothly and predictably make me nervous. I don't want anyone's ride ruined because of an errant rider, especially my own. I am selfish that way thus vocal.
That is the way I was taught by tough guys years ago but others may have better or different ideas.
