this well i guess. I know the world record for traveling on flat ground without the aid of a car is around 80mph in a streamlined bicycle but is the car simply splitting the wind for this cyclist or is the differential of air pressure pushing him along?
Magnets How do they work?
Fucken' Velcro, How does it work?
Drafting is just a myth dude. Those guys in the peloton are all just benefitting from the placebo effect. For serious.
your answer is yes. Mostly the car splitting the wind for him though.
the only thing that will fuck your aerodynamics up is cross winds. and them shits is EVERYWHERE. except the desert, lean that engine out... fairings 2011...
put a piece of wood that's straight up and down in a flowing river the pattern off the flow behind the wood is backwards.
The car is breaking
you don't think the car in the first post has any affect on the cyclist list kinda how a siphon works?
oh and here's some entertaining stuff

does the tuck matter? i see a lot of moped riders do it but i heard drag didn't really affect things til after about 50mph. is that true?
wind drag is significant even at 20 mph. Look at the way bicyclists use aero bars and tear-drop shaped aero helmets to get a small margin of advantage. It does make a difference!
Isn't drag proportional to windspeed cubed?
50 to seventy MPH , it doubles. approx.
The co-efficient of drag, that is.
Drag increases with the square of velocity
Power needed to overcome that drag increases with the cube of velocity
O_O dat sprocket
