Something I read

I read this yesterday and I was wondering what you guys think:

When riding in a group, keep your front wheel 12 inches behind the wheel in front of you. If the gap gets narrower than six inches:

a) Soft-pedal, don't coast. If this is not enough to keep you more than six inches behind, then

b) Coast. If this is not enough, then

c) Move slightly to one side and lift your upper body, so that air resistance slows you down. But don't let your front wheel overlap with the rear wheel of the person in front of you.

Do not touch your brakes, unless it's an emergency or the group is coming to a halt.


What do you guys think?
