Personally, I don't mind wheel suckers. In fact I kind of take it as a compliment, when it does occasionally happen. This usually happens at Cen park. When I do draft someone, they often don't mind too. Only come across one couple who objected.

you will mind if they crash into the back of you and write off your bike. In saying this, it doesn't seem to happen very often.

I had 2 blokes sit on my wheel yesterday for quite some LNS on Beach Road, Melb and they thanked me for the tow yesterday. They were both somewhat younger than me.

Not complaining at all :-)

Bilbo and Frodo are well known for being exceedingly polite.

You should be able to survive 99% of wheel touches regardless of whether you are the front or rear bike in the touch. It's a skill we should all have
