RE: Question about drafting

Comment comment by Anonymous on 17 July 2006

By drafting you use the vacum that is behind the leader. But by doing so, you enlarge the vacum creating more drag on the leader.

However, I don't think the increase in drag for the leader is equal to the reduction for the drafter. The reduction is larger.

I personally used drafting while cycling across Canada with my wife so know the savings it makes.
