Wheel Banging

The purpose of this drill is to get people comfortable riding close to one another in a pace line. We do this by showing them that even if they bang into one another, they should be able to handle the situation. In pairs one behind the other on the concrete rolling around inside of the apron, have the following rider ride up so close to the lead rider that their wheels bump. If the following rider’s wheel overlaps to the one side or the other, they flip the front wheel to bang it against the side of the leader’s rear wheel. After the bang, re-establish a gap and close it again. Change the lead after a couple of laps.
