Mostly I see newbies not able to hold their line. I try to stay away from them especially when they get tired.


I would also like to blame newbies for all the half wheeling (wheel overlap) in the paceline but some are not that new to be doing that.

On of my group rides just had a horrible wreck due to a newbie going for his water bottle on a down hill without one hand on the brake. He was near the front of a large group and took about 10 riders down with him.
