A friend from Germany told me that over there some of the clubs do not allow overtaking, on group rides.
The idea is that you sort your self out at the beginning and take off, fastest riders in front, slower behind, if you end up in a slower group tough shit you have to wait till you get to the next stop then you move up the line a bit into the faster bikes.
The reasoning is that chasing another bike puts pressure on the front rider to extend himself/ herself that wee bit more than he/she would like. But to be proud...and save face, if they are passed they then have to prove themselves and repass etc etc, . This only leads to disaster.
If you cannot overtake another biker in the group then it stops alot of the stupidty
Perhaps NZ clubs should adopt the same rules
The racing should be left to the track. There is no disgrace in being passed. Get over it and live to see another day.
I quite like things how they are
ie, most bins wins
welcome to my world on a scooter
I am used to getting overtaken but I still end up at the same place about 2 mins later on the long trips
but round town at least on a bike you dont have cars undertaking you in a bus lane because I am doing the speed limit + some
not fast enough for mr cage
