These 'cycling' speed records are so lame. Go peddle into the wind if you want a record, I don't consider this normal cycling. This is just cheating.

- jrockway 8y agoIs there any cycling record category that doesn't try to reduce wind? Time trialists use special bikes and gear to reduce the effect of the wind. Road racers try to be behind someone that can block the wind for them. This is yet another category with the same theme.
- NietTim 8y agoYou're talking about reducing drag. There's a difference between trying to reduce drag and piggybagging behind something that almost complete eliminates wind, and perhaps even helps because of the way the air flows around the chute and creates a push effect behind it. Just the same as what's happening here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWwwuCK-3iQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWwwuCK-3iQ I disagree that this is even close to the same as other categories.
