Phil's got it right.
The best sound is no sound.
Then when you come up on somebody on the road, they won't know you're there.
That way you can sleighride and when they jolt to awareness that you're
sittin' on, whether its a block or a mile+ tell 'em you've been on for miles
and really rattle their cage.
The trick is to shift at the same time, so they don't hear it, stay just far
enough back at lights, etc., and be VERY careful, 'cause you must be able to
compensate for any unexpected or dumb move they make so as not to get
knocked down.
Ahhh - the science of cycle stalking! Fun to play on the road while being
serious.
