Cycling tips?

What are some tips about riding in a pack and clipless pedals?

Definitely master your clipless pedals before you ride your next paceline. Take your bike out somewhere safe and practice getting in and out of them. Try riding in the urban areas where you have to stop frequently at light.

One you master your pedals, know that there is a sophisticated etiquette to the pack ride. Learn the voice calls and signals commonly used in your area.

In order for a paceline to be effective, each rider must ride very closely behind one another. You should be aware that some is right behind you, and avoid sudden braking.

The point of the paceline is to break air resistance for all but the foremost rider. Everyone should take turns breaking the wind in front, like migratory birds in formation. This involves a continual falling behind of the current leader to the back of the line, and it must be smooth to avoid accidents.

Give yourself time to learn the method, ask lots of questions, and don’t ride beyond your ability. You’ll be with the 18mph plussers soon enough.
