I have my moments too, it's hard riding behind other riders. Trying to stay off set. If you ride behind good riders it's a breeze but can be hard if you have a rider who is unpredictable in front. I ride with a motorcycle group called Lazer that contains 3 ex bike cops and one ex trainer so you have to make the effort to be predictable so they can stay off set behind you. I have had a rider behind me riding too close and he couldn't stop in time as I stopped for a truck blocking the road after a bend. He just missed me by luck. But he is fairly newish to biking and doesn't look far enough ahead. So now I insist he rides in front of me!
