Me - dog slow on the road, which annoys the hell out of me, I used to be fairly confident on the road, used to be good at reading unknown roads, but over the last year or two I hate leading on the road to the point where I just can't be bothered with road riding because I don't enjoy it, but stick me behind someone and I suddenly become smooooth?????

well that will be because your observation is staring down at the tarmac in front of your front wheel.....!

In fact the majority of riding problems can be traced back to observation! you dont see so your going too slow or too fast. you dont read the road so your in the wrong position at the wrong time.etc etc etc....
