I was pondering a while back just how much further the braking distance of the bike that was trying to draft me was compared to mine.
It was pissing it down with rain, I was on a MTB with disc brakes and 2" tyres, he was on a brakeless fixed with 23s or similar.
My non-scientific estimate was at least eight times, I also did the gradual slowing down until they went past me at a crawl technique.
