Group Riding Tips from RoadBikeRider Newsletter
Be a Sharp Lookout for Your Group
Besides setting the right tempo, the lead rider in a paceline or pack has another vital responsibility: warning those behind of dangers in the road.
For riders who are drafting, potholes and debris are hard to see. They shouldn't need to worry about being led into danger.
Here's the way to be the eyes of a paceline:
-
Alertly scan the road. You can't warn of dangers that you daydream out of existence. And if through inattention you spot something too late, your after-the-fact warning may do more harm than good. Surprised riders could veer in a panic, touch wheels and crash. So pay attention and look far enough ahead to smoothly lead the line past each hazard.
-
Point. Simply remove one hand from the bar and point down toward the side where the danger will be when you pass it. (Point down at about 45 degrees, not out, so the warning isn't mistaken for a turn signal.) Do this in advance, then move over smoothly.
