Made me feel a bit sick; he had the same crappy £15 stem that I've got.

That was just crazy, but I had to laugh as they overtook the bus that had passed them three minutes earlier.

Tractor drafting is like Suffolk EPO, just ask @mattobrien or @4F

Totally mad; one of those guys had no helmet.

My genitals receed at speed as well.

Nice, quality drafting.

Funny that when a cyclist behaves like a moron then it's all "Oooh err aren't they fun"
The truth is that these two cretins give cyclists a bad name as do the posts above that condone their prank.
Small wonder that cyclists are treated with such contempt.
These two guys are morons, I'm pretty sure they also carry cameras around with them to show how bad drivers are
and then put them on you tube.
Ring a bell anyone?

I like the stylish bunny hops at 70mph and his total confidence in putting the camera on the truck. Pure class.

I followed a guy doing this on my way to work a couple of weeks back, along a strava segment. He seemed to be waiting for trucks to pass in the rush hour and then slotting in behind them and drafting. Only up to 45 mph, but still, too close and too fast for my liking.

I think this is how things are going to go if you want a KOM, strava stalking HGV's from lay by's on the edge of main roads like surfers waiting for that wave.

Probably only so long before someone gets squashed in all the stupidity.

They aren't Brazilian, they are speaking Spanish. Sorry for being a pedant.
