Pretty much the same thing with those little drogue chutes some like to use. Why they use them solo, I can't fathom, unless they have a speed limit they can exceed.
Have two hours to ride in the morning, want to get as much TSS as possible, have to add enough drag that you can't coast (our outrun your headlight pre-dawn). I'd be all in for that.
