Is there a good reason why in a pace line someone might choose to constantly ride on my inside, front wheel is about where my cranks are. I’ve ridden with this particular person quite a bit recently. Whenever he is behind me I find that he eventually sneaks up on my inside. Almost like he is trying to steal the wheel enfront of me, but he never goes for it. I find it disturbing , because if I have to maneuver it only leaves me room to shift into traffic.
Havnt said anything to him yet, just wanted to hear y’all’s thoughts. If there is a good reason then so be it.

Last week, I was buying some Conti Grand Prix tires (not 5000s) from PBK for the Battaglin and Ritchey, and I figured, since I don't have a spare 25mm GP5000 for the Litespeed (always have a spare!), I'd buy one of those, too. $55. I looked around for better prices than they were offering and didn't find any, especially once shipping (free from PBK) was factored in.
Today, PBK is selling them for $44. Son of a b****!

Learning to ride slowly (80:20 training) on popular cycling routes has been a great challenge and a maturing experience for me.

I need 4. 2 32mm and 2 25mm. I could get by with 3. 1 32 mm and 2 25 mm but it doesn’t really solve my problem.
I don’t want to pay for them.

I don’t see him do it to other riders. I’ll ask him the next time I see him. Maybe he knows something i don’t know.
