Pretty much what Geonz says.

Half wheeling is riding so that that half of your front wheel is beside the back half of the wheel of the rider in front.

It is extremely bad form to do this in a group or a paceline. The danger is that the rider behind taps the wheel of the rider in front. Usually the rider in front is ok, but often the half-wheeler (the one whos front wheel has "tapped" ) will lose control.

If there are only two of you, this is not too serious, but in a pack situation, someone who half-wheels can cause a major pile up.

Acceptable protocol when riding with others is to ride beside (as in parallel) or directly behind.

Hope that helps
