Drafting or slipstreaming is an aerodynamic technique where two moving objects are aligning in a close group to exploit the lead object's slipstream and thus reduce the overall effect of drag. Especially when high speeds are involved, as in motor racing and cycling, drafting can significantly reduce the paceline 's average energy expenditure ...
Peloton at 2018 Giro d'Italia. In a road bicycle race, the peloton (from French, originally meaning ' platoon ') is the main group or pack of riders.Riders in a group save energy by riding close (drafting or slipstreaming) to (particularly behind) other riders.
Sprinting technique often used by the lead out man where the rider will accelerate to maximum speed close to the sprint point with a teammate, the sprinter, drafting behind, hoping to create space between the sprinter and the pack. When the lead out man is exhausted, they will move to the side to allow their teammate to race in the sprint.
In the sport of road cycling, a chain gang is a group of cyclists in a close knit formation usually of two parallel lines drafting behind the leader. The formation comes from the fact that it is harder to cycle at the front of a group than in the shelter of another rider. The rider behind enjoys the slipstream of the rider in front. If one ...
A strange loop is a hierarchy of levels, each of which is linked to at least one other by some type of relationship. A strange loop hierarchy is "tangled" (Hofstadter refers to this as a "heterarchy"), in that there is no well defined highest or lowest level; moving through the levels, one eventually returns to the starting point, i.e., the original level.
Drafting or draughting may refer to: Campdrafting, an Australian equestrian sport; Drafting (aerodynamics), slipstreaming; Drafting (writing), writing something that is likely to be amended; Technical drawing, the act and discipline of composing diagrams that communicates how something functions or is to be constructed. E.g.: Architectural drawing
Sport psychology is defined as the study of the psychological basis, processes, and effects of sport. [1] Sport is defined as any physical activity where the individuals engage for competition and health. [2]
This technique may be complicated by additional factors such as headset friction and stiff control cables. The combined center of mass does move slightly to the left when the rider leans to the right relative to the bike, and the bike leans to the left in response.
