Caulfield: When a bike racer lets other racers draft off him, what's that called? Frazz: Leading. Pacing. Breaking wind. Caulfield: No, the other one, No, the other one. There we go! Frazz: You realize only old people use that term for either usage. Caulfield: And the rest of us still giggle when they do.
