Re: Drafting in Bicycle Races



The same effect helps in making TRAINS far more efficient than semi's!!!!

I don't think it is as important as the reduction in rolling
resistance afforded by steel tires on steel rails and the very
small variation in grade tolerated by trains, leading to
efficient design near optimum power output. Trucks have to be
designed to put out variable power; that is what costs. They
can't be expected to operate near maxcimum efficiency.
