It truly is! As a kid we used to hide behind the double decker busses on our mountain bikes at the stop and accelerate with it when it got going again. We’d be riding only a few feet from the rear of the bus and it’d pull us up the big hill home so fast. The bus driver used to get really annoyed and eventually snitched to the school so we had an assembly about it !
boys are stupid!
I’d never have the balls to do that now!
- username223 4y agoHaha! I remember latching onto school buses and other large vehicles at stoplights when I was younger. Stay close enough, and you could get sucked along at incredible speeds. It was interesting how some drivers would get super-pissed, while others would think "hey, that's awesome!" and help you stay attached. Riding in a pack is a whole different experience, though. You have to be hyper-aware and -predictable in your lines, but the feeling of cruising along at over 20 MPH on a flat, aided only by your fellow cyclists, is something special.
