Why would anybody want to go half wheeling? What good is a HALF wheel?

Yes, a bicycle has two whole wheels; but from what I\’ve read about it, half-wheeling is a no-no. For a verbal explanation, see here. It\’s a bit easier to understand, I think, that the written article.

Have I ever done this? I don\’t know. It\’s about two years since I last did any group riding at all; and I don\’t think I\’d heard of half-wheeling back then.

Or does this count: back in October 2013 I rode Bike MS. During the first day, another rider and I kept passing each other. First she\’d pass me; shortly afterwards I\’d pass her; and so on. About the third time this happened, my comment was, \”We just can\’t decide who\’s going to be in front, can we?\”

It might be nice, sometimes, to be able to ride side-by-side with another cyclist and have a bit of a chat. On the path I use, that would be multi-tasking: talking while holding a straight line and staying alert for other cyclists coming up from behind!
