No. And I'm encountering more and more of it when I'm out training.
Had a bloke stuck to my back wheel for miles last Monday - I was doing a tempo training session so was going pretty quick. He didn't say 'morning' back when I passed him, he sat on me for bloody miles and didn't say 'thanks' when he peeled off!
Was doing a hard session myself the other evening on the TT bike... one of the stretches was into an absolute sod of a headwind so I was working hard and only looked back right near the end of the rep.... there was a line strung out of 6 riders behind me! I felt soiled and used!

Sounds like sour grapes because you couldn't ditch him!

I didn't mind him being sat on my wheel. It was him ignoring me when I said 'good morning' that f**ked me off!
But then again if he wants to race me he should pin a fookin number on his back!
funny how itmight have thought you knew him) blew and then sat behind for a rest. Other rider will think you're a wheel sucker but you're just suffering .
still no excuse for not thanking. Mind you I find I am towing more and more riders home on the daily commute. What makes me laugh is I'm on a single speed hybrid and they are on road bikes and seem to be suffering to hang on

no, they are the same thing, but wheelsucking is the illegal version, where you don't come through and take a turn. Sadly, Wiggle's officer are on strike and therefore do not police the streets, so the people who commit this crime do not get punished
Is there a better expression or term for wheel sucking? It sounds, so, American!
Well bumsucker seems to have gone right out of fashion, since I was younger, maybe it can be used in a more PC way. Nobody would like to be called it, so would take their turn at the front. Or maybe not. :?

No it isn't. This is Cake Stop, we like moaning here.
You can move over and wave through...

Excuse my ignorance, but is wheel sucking different from "drafting"?
