Help ID this guy — caused a bike crash sending 2 to hospital

[Kbikeva]

From a friend’s post.

Yesterday I was testing a Fly6 camera during the Bike Rack group ride. We were close to Military Rd on Beach Dr, when a random cyclist decided to cut in between the line, clipping the front wheel of the person behind me. A cyclist hit and run: he saw the accident, did not bother to stop. Perhaps you may see the rider of that silver/blue Pinarello in your rides: http://youtu.be/eTTGroH8BZI

Rider appears at about :42

If you can ID this person, please contact the Bike Rack (202) 387-2453 so they can pass the info on to the injured.

Let’s all be more careful and courteous out there. Jeez.

to further elucidate the more ELITE intricacies of half-wheeling, here are some tactical considerations:

if following the lead rider in a group of racers, half-wheeling allows you to stay in the lead rider’s blind spot.

by staying in the lead rider’s blind spot, you can ATTACK and gain a second or two before the lead rider can respond.

the half-wheeling rider can react to any accelerations by the lead rider without having to go around the lead rider.

the half-wheeling rider can still use a small amount of drafting – particularly if there’s a crosswind.

the half-wheeling rider can still see the lead rider’s face and will constantly be watching to see if mock agony changes to true agony, especially on climbs. if the half-wheeling rider sees true agony, ATTACK.

Doesn’t half-wheeling dictate that you are in front of the other rider? So you’d have to be the lead rider? Guess I only considered it as two riders and not a larger group.

I hope this is race tactics and not shop ride cat 6.

Shop ride Cat6 tactics are much less refined, and more like:

if the … anything … ATTACK!!!
